dumb ? fuse in a 86????

I have been having problems with major hesitation,and bogging after 3600 rpm
---but any way I was told to check my engine fuse--the 80 amp fuse.
Anyway I can take all the fuses out easy but that one--it will not pop out
Doesn't look blown--should it be stuck like that--anyone else had this problem?
Could this be a sign of the problem?

it's not supposed to come out easy. you have to unbolt it from the two sides. search for it and you find out exactly how.

the problem is a bad pressure sensor. most likely anyway. i did everything in the world to tray and fix my hesitation. at first it was just hitting a wall and would not go over 3800 at all. i found out the little check valve was on backwards and the pressure sensor was not getting vac signals. before i found out that it was on backwards i put a new computer in, new fuel pump, new secondary injectors, put ground wires on everything and nothing helped. after i switched the vac check valve around it actually would above 3800 but was hesitating and bucking really really bad. found out it was an s5 pressure sensor that was on it (part # for s5) so i put an s4 one on there and it fixed it completely

The 80A fuse is the MAIN fuse. If it's blown the entire car would be completely dead. You've been misinformed.

Have you cleaned the main EFI system ground bolted to the top of the engine?
Have you had the injectors professionally cleaned?

yeah i probably should have said that a long time ago. just focused on the "how do you get the main fuse out" question too much i guess.
