Our 88 Chevy Baretta would not start and has been shutting off when I change gears automatic transmission. My love, a chef not car mechanic, changed a blown fuse and is convinced that the car is fixed. Did this help? The ca has a missing motor mount, no radiator and many many miles. There is also a spark plug wire that is burned in half.
Will replacing a fuse in a panal fix a no start problem?
How in the hell are you driving a car with no radiator? If there is no radiator, then there is no coolant in the engine, therefore the engine is overheating and will blow a head gasket, warp and crack the head and block. Yes, replacing a fuse can make a car run, but it is not fixed. A shorted fuel injector wire will blow a fuse and make it not run. As for the shutting of when changing gears, I will assume you mean change gears from park to reverse or drive, and that is what happens when the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid is stuck on. You have to replace the tcc solenoid in the trans to fix it.
OR BETTER YET, TAKE THE RADIATOR CAP OFF, OH WAIT YOU DON'T HAVE ONE! THEN TAKE THE GAS CAP OFF, IF YOU HAVE ONE ASSUMING YOU DON'T JUST HAVE A RAG STUFFED IN THE FILLER NECK, TAKE THE GAS CAP OFF AND DRIVE A NEW CAR UNDER IT.

A fuse can help fix it, but what caused the fuse to blow, thats the thing you need to remember.
ANd pretty much, the things you listed may have blew it. Shorts or grounding of the wires is my #1 reason on why fuses blow
WOW, your car need some help. The engine itself does not have fuses nor the does the starter. the motor mount and radiator are a very big deal. I'm suprised it been on the road at all.
Has this car been sitting for a while? I would recommend replacing all the spark plugs and the spark plug wires. They should not be too costly for your car, just go to your local auto shop (napa, kragens, etc...) and ask what ones fit your model and make of car. I don't see how your car could run without a radiator, it would over heat and eventually crack the heads that hold the valves causing water to leak into your engine. maybe it's air cooled, i doubt it though. I would get a radiator for it too, search online for one, they are not that expensive either and all of these replacements are bolt on. Make sure you put half water and half coolant in the radiator, otherwise you'll have bigger problems. Get an oil change and tranny fluid change too.
yes,that will help in your car he replaced the ecm fuse common in the chevy cars,but the spark plug wire that is in half could be grounding out,causeing the car to stall .that needs to be fixed.the motor mount is also a must fix,the reason you have no radiator is that your car is cooled by electric fans.
