This car is the EX model. I just brought this car from a family friend and the battery keeps on draining. I changed the alternator, the coil, the starter, the ignition switch, the belts. And when I found out when I took out the ignition fuse it does not drain it. But when I put it back a drains the battery. What can I do? I spend over $500.00. Can anybody help me?

you will have to see what circuit is connected to ignition fuse to see why it is draining. if it is fuse 9 that goes directly to the distributor. so check harness for rubbing against block or metal where it can ground or it may be a bad part in distributor, if not the correct fuse get back to us with number so we can tell you where to check.
