    my 1995 grand prix with the 3.1 just quit while going down the road... turns over but no start... back at farm i gave her a small spray of either and she popped right off. was told the icm and/or coils were bad so i threw on a spare unit a neighbor had resulting in still no start.. The fuel pump turns and and goes off after 3 seconds. Then i looked under hood at fuse panel on passengers side and saw the fuse labled f/inj was burnt so i had the hired man crawl under and unplug the connector for the fuel pump /put in a new 15 amp fuse and turned on the key and rolled the motor over a couple times.. that fuse popped again/now i dont know if it blew when i turned the key to on position/ or, if it blew when i cranked on it. either way the the fuel pump is not the problem as it was disconnected i would think . the fuel injectors are not getting power. i am suspecting a bad wire from f/inj to fuel rails or something happened in the ignition switch.. but i am lost when it comes to chasing electrical problems i`d be grateful if someone could tell me what to test and how to test to isolate fuse popping and fix the car problem. i have more treatments at the hospital coming up soon and this is the only vehicle i have available to get me there. Thank you all

    Disconect all injectors, reinstall fuse, then turn key. Fuse pop = not injectors, trace injector wiring, or it could be computer problem.
    If the fuse does not pop, replace all injectors.

    Also check the injector wiring for wire pinching on metal engine parts.
