my 95 240sx SE doesn't wanna start. Battery, starter, alternator still good. I check fuses and fuse 7.5A EGI is no good. Replace it and it does the same thing...blows the fuse again. if i let it sit for a while till the engine/tranny is cold or something, replace fuse, it starts but if i pop it in gear and try to drive it blows the fuse again. Anyone ever have this problem or do 240sx have electrical problems? my car has 80000 miles and still runs good till now. Need any help if is possible?

thanks
