I have the same exact symptoms that was happening to Danger DANJ here https://thegalantcenter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57280 I don't know what's causing the short because replacing fuse #13 in the engine bay when the car is cold lets it start up and run for 5 minutes or more then it blows the fuse while the engine is running or when trying to restart after the engine is warmed up.
I've replaced the cap and rotor last and also all the spark plugs. I think was causing this is because I sprayed the air intake plenum with tons of engine cleaner and didn't wait for all that oil residue and engine cleaner to dry up or drain out. I've realized this when I reinstalled the air intake manifold and saw the stuff leaking out of the throttle body. I wipe what I could see and thinking that if I running the engine for 5-10 minutes that all that stuff would flush out. Well, it's obvious either messed up a sensor somewhere or there's a coincidence of a frayed/melted/exposed wire causing a short somewhere.
I've even tried leaving the sensor on top of the air intake manifold, the one on the throttle body, and the plug under the throttle body unplugged to see if that might be the cause of the short. Unfortunately, after the car is warmed up and it blows the first fuse, unplugging these did not stop subsequent fuses from blowing.
Can someone tell me what exactly would cause fuse #13 to blow?
Thanks.
