if it keeps blowing that fuse you have a short in your wiring somewhere. look over all the engien wires cartefully, in particular the bit that runs behind the inlet manifold to the tps and idle switch. there is an extra plug with a black and brown wire for the breather heater which wasnt fitted on uk models. this is run off fuse 15 too so could well be this shorting out. follow the wires back and cut em out the loom then repair any other damage and tape it back up nicely.

it also supplies the charcoal canister valve on the driver side chassis leg, so follow the wiring from there too

Update with mine :)

She's alive again now - well happy too.
In the end I gave the throttle body a good clean and damp proofed her. The reason my car wouldn't start was because it was damp apparently lol - But while we was there we changed the timing belt on it too.

Turned out that the person or persons before me changed the timing belt and it wasn't fitted tidy - was like 3 notches outta sync.
So after I changed the belt, lined it up correctly - she started and sounds much better - not to mention the noticeable increase in power :D

Also the wires that lead from the throttle body, going behind the manifold and down to the wiring loom was nearly snapped! so chucked connector blocks on them and it runs alot smoother now :)

Only other problem I have now is that my fuel gauge doesn't work now haa - But read up on it and it could possibly be the earth on the pump, So just waiting for the time and dry weather till I can check on it.
