maybe you can remove the power line to the alternator and then start up your car. See if the fuse still blows. If not then you might have issues with the alternator. Atleast you can eliminate or find one problem this way.
Then maybe you can wire up the fuel pump seperately to a different power source and see if it blows the fuse when you start the car. Just some suggestions for you. Electrical issues can be a pain sometimes.

Be patient, and maintain a humble attitude. Answers will come to those who wait politely...
And, having said that, your post is a little hard to understand. I took the additional time to decipher it, so I think I know what you are saying, but a little time taken by you to make sure that it is clearly written will save many others the time needed to translate the question into a legible form.

Thanks for proving that you're acting like a little brat. Don't take it out on me because we can't understand you.+1 on what Kentetsu said. A polite attitude will work best. Also realize that if we cannot understand you, we cannot help you. However, because I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you an inkling of my "ability"
Check out the FSM on your car via this link.http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html
It will help you out in the long run, and includes the wiring layout if you're still having problems with your electrical system. Something could also be grounding out. Check your engine bay around the fusible links and battery cables, this is sometimes a cause. Also, double check your wiring under the dash. With the amount of wire underneath there, it's not hard for parts of the exposed wire to be hidden amongst the rest.

1stgenNutt, If I may clarify something here for you and others. Being an ex-Service Manager in the Automotive industry.
It was hard enough at times to understand and get the proper information out of clients that I needed to pass onto to the techs so that they could do their jobs. Being that this is the internet and we do not have the benefit of sight nor sound to gather information. We must rely on the written information that is supplied in order to understand 1st what the writer is asking. That is the minimum that we need. The context of the wording is even more critical.
In order for anyone experienced or not to help the information must be clear, concise and to the point. We need to know when the problem occurs, under what conditions, and other factors such as if there has been recent work done. The clearer the information is with supporting facts the better chance we have as members to help the member with their problem, or problems. Diagnosis is tricky at best with too many variables for all situations.
Since we are not there next to your vehicle we can only give input on the information that we are supplied with. It is up to you to answer the questions that members put forward in order to help yourself.
