I burned that bad boy up before myself, no one seemed to be able to answer why it happened to me. I repaired it, and the car has been out of commission for the most part since then, but driven some. I didn't have an issue after that, and never really found out what caused it which really bothered me, but when it happened my ammeter would spike back and forth rapidly whenever I hit the gas under a load. No load and it was fine. Mine burnt up and seemed like it would have roasted the car if I hadn't turned the key off. It was IGN 1.
