It's probably the 15amp 'motor' fuse. Check the wiring obviously, and then check under the hood to make sure none of the wires on the engine harness have melted/been cut/etc.

ok thx i have been looking i don't see much all the wiring looks a little old but i don't see an probs othere than near the intake manifold there is a tine fuel leak (also need to be worked on) and it drips on a few wires but they don't seem to be exposed to i don't se how that could ground *note the fuel leak is near this semi plastic dish shaped thing between the intake and the engine any ideas on that as well i've been trying to solve this prob for about a day now and the only way i can seem to come up with to get at it is to take the whole manifold off which doesn't sound fun *also note i have no idea what that dish shaped thing is nor have i ever dismantled a fuel enjection system befor so i have almost no idea what im doing
