Been having a few issues with the TTA lately. Was washing it the other day, with the car idling, and I could smell something burning. Well the car stalled and when I finished washing it the car would not start. Found out the fusible link was cooked. Fixed that and was preparing to take the car out for a spin. Decided I better check under the hood before I take off, good thing I did. Had a small fire that melted the harness located by the oil filter and had some discoloration of the oil filter. Guess I have some major electrical issues? Opinions on where to start.........other than driving it off a cliff?

Sounds like a dead short. Something has either chafed through or melted on an exhaust component.

It may be the oil pressure sending wire (3 wire plug) has a hot lead. Is this connected?
