Default ENGINE CONTROL?????!!!!!

EARLIER THE ENGINE CONTROL FUSE BLEW ON THE JEEP SO I PUT A BOBBY PIN IN PLACE TO GET HOME.. IT RAN FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT WOULD POP WHEN SLOWING DOWN AS IF I WAS DOWN****ING A MANUAL TRANS. AFTER A FEW MILES THE MOTOR STARTING CUTTING IN AND OUT AND WOULD WANT TO DIE IF YOU DIDNT GIVE IT GAS. ALSO, WHEN THE FUSE BLEW WHEN I TURNED THE KEY I DIDNT HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON EITHER...? wtf IS GOION ON? HAS ANYONE HAD THHIS HAPPED. THE JEEP IS A DAILY DRIVER AND HAS TO BE DRIVEN 30 MINUTES TO WORK AND BACK EVRY DAY. ALSO, AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE AND THEN TRY TO GO SOMEWHERE IT RUNS PERFECTLY FINE AT FIRST BUT THEN GOES BACK TO THE MOTOR CUTTING IN AND OUT

Can you take a picture of where you put the bobby pin in? The ECU, of all things, shouldn't need a fuse nor should you attempt to jury rig it. Please take your CAPS off too, it looks like you're yelling.
