I have a 93 240sx. It was 100% normal until I make a SPARK while I was changing the alternator belt without disconnecting the battery. after I have everything tightened, the car starts but I get no electricity unless the engine is running. And the key is stuck as well. I couldnt get it out without forcing it out. according to my research, my FL750A Alternator fuse is blown. but before I drive 2 hours to the Nissan Dealer, is there any other suggestions or ideas of what is going on?

Something else I should mention, the car started running abit weird after this. when I rev the car, it doesnt seem like it wants to go above 3000rpm and some poping sound was comming from the engine somewhere. but this only happens sometimes. any help is greatly appreciated.

It does sound like you blew a fuse. Check the fuse before you drive 2 hours, chances are you wont make it that far just off of battery power. Your car may be sputtering because the battery doesnt have enough voltage to power everything it needs to run. Also with out a properly working alternator/ fuse you wont have a charging system and will only be running from battery power. Ask around locally if anyone has a spare fuse you can have or buy.
