must be shorting out somewhere does it pop straight away or when you turn ignition to on or go to turn the engine over

Does the starter turn over? Could be the starter motor that has shit the tin.
you hear what sounds like the starter motor start then the fuse blows

The starter would be having too much current draw, replace it.

i highly doubt its the starter poping the fuse.we need more details if you turn the ignition to on 1 click before cranking when all the dash lights light up ready to start and the fuel pump primes does it blow or when you turn it the last click to wind it over after the pump has stopped wirring

pull the cranking wire off the starter motor solinoid will be a little wire going onto a spade terminal and then try it.see if it pops then.

ok will try it this morning when i get home from work.
ok pulled the wire off and turned the key and the fuse didnt pop
put the wire back on and fuse didnt pop and car started, turned car off tried to start again and didnt start and fuse didnt pop.
fiddle with the wire again and tried and car started.
i have to fiddle with the wire everytime to start the car.
