Before you mess with the Fuel Pump, try changing around the fuel pump relay under the hood. mine did this pulling out of the gas station the other day. All the relays are the same under the hood if you need one in a pinch, but the things only cost about $8 new and they're cheap insurance to have around in the glove box.

A fuse that blows immediately won't be cured by swapping relays, it indicates a short circuit that must be found and repaired before anything else is done.

Have you determined why your fuse is blowing?

A scanner won't tell you that.

Well guys figured it out got a new PCM from a jy for 35 bucks put it in and she fired up like nothing was ever wrong . I'm guessing the reasone the fuse was popping was a ground issue with the PCM . Super gald I got her goin and didn't have to spend much coin thanks for the help !
