my car was having trouble idling for about a week and then i was going down the interstate near my house and my car shut off.....stupid me, i thought it was just the factory fuel pump that went out so i changed it, who would've thought, I had a blown EFI fuse......any help as to how to get my car back and running??? I know theres probably a short somewhere but where to start??

changing the fuse wont be your only problem, there should be an underlying problem that caused the fuse to pop.
I just had this happen to my car. Lemme guess, the car has trouble idling especially after a hot start and a short rest after driving around?
Mine was caused by faulty wiring in the harness. 18 year old car - the wiring is starting to degrade. You need to break out your multimeter and check your circuits from the sensor to the ECU and see where the problem lies. A TSRM, online or otherwise, will be very beneficial

would the efi fuse blow if the main relay went bad??? just wondering before i go out into the heat n under the hood
Another common one is the harness rubbing through the insulation where is goes across the intake manifold from the firewall. It should be supported off the intake runners by several wire clips, but they disintegrate over time.
If you've removed your EGR, BVSV and the VSV or anything else, make sure you don't have any wires flapping around that may be chaffed and can short out when you go around a turn or something by hitting the manifold or block.
well i did diagnostics on my car and i got a code 22.....weird i know, water temp sensor.....so i unplugged it, blew in it a lil bit, plugged it back in and now my car is up and running......now all i have to do is figure out my overheating problem and i should be done for awhile....atleats until i get my cold air intake and do a lil exhaust work in the next couple months, thanks for all the help guys.... i'm sure ill be back sometime soon with some other problem
You'll be back alright but it'll be with the same problem. There's nothing in the coolant sensor circuit that can blow the EFI fuse...
