    Check your grounds. I had a similar issue with my ignition fuse last year. The harness was rubbing the back of the tranny and caused a ground as well. Check and clean grounds then check for grounds in engine harness.

    My distributor failed not long after the fuse blew.

    He doesn't know you have a GS because you don't have a sig or anything disclosing this. All he meant by it was a main ignition component failed when he had a similar issue.

    Both models use coils/coilpacks and that was the specific item that failed, they don't last forever. fwiw
