I think i might have been that guy. Anyway. I had the same problem. It turned out to be my Crank Case Sensor. When it goes, the Jeep will turn over all day long but will not start. Just something to check. Oh and a word to the wise if it is the CPS. Get one from a jy. A new one will cost you 70.00. If you need to know where it is this should help.

well...im sorry to here this thing is that big of a problem for you. seeing as how there is no obvious sign of why it wont run. when your fuse blew did it melt any wires? any other fuses blow? did the same fuse blow again? just double check all connections.
