Could be a bad/burned wire shorting out. Will have to check around real good. Check grounds to frame from engine. Check your battery terminals & terminal wires too, Look for insulation scraped off and touching metal of the car too.

It was running bad, we cleaned the egr and now it keeps blowing that fuse. Its the 20 Amp engine fuse. I already replaced the coil, the plugs and wires. Im at a complete loss! I will check for wires showing thank you

Could it be the alternator doing it? Pulled the relay for the starter and the fuse still blew. Done went thru 12 fuses still no clue

Are the battery wires connected correctly or shorting out somewhere? To and from alternator, to starter, to grounds, engine/frame grounds, If its not a specific part then will need to locate the short, Have the alternator tested, and check the insulation on those wires, When the egr was worked on something likely got hooked back up wrong or a wire broken or insulation came off and touching ect.
