I put the talon on the road while shes still on project mode. I drove her for about 500 miles, and pulled her into the garage to fix the HEAT on it and give it a oil change......



Now the car has NO spark and blew 3 fuses at my battary. I have the battary in the trunk with a round tube fuse with 4 gauge wire.

The car used to run so nice, and now no spark at all. I went through and tested my MPI relay on the multimeter and it seems ok. I tested the coil pack plug and ptu plug. everything seems ok. the ECU seems good and nothing burnt or anything.

HELP ME PLEASE
 
Sounds like you have a short to ground issue. You have the power from the battery going to the starter and the fuse junction box right? I would take the positive off the battery and tape it up (so not to accidently touch any metal) and check for continuity between a good ground point and the starter battery cable with an ohmmeter. I'd probably do the same between a good ground point and where your cable attaches to your junction box. If the meter shows anything but infinite resistance you've probably worn through your power cable from the battery somewhere.
 
If your blowing fuses than you have a short somewhere. Just follow the wires has to be exposed somewhere causing it to short and blow a fuse.
