85 gsl-se issues

Ok resently purchased a 85 GSL-SE 13b 5 speed, was told car needed tps and the intake put back on. I've put everything to getter and new tps and nothing. A soon as you turn the key it blows the engine fuse I've looked all over trying to figure out what the heck isn't wrong, any ideas would be helpful.

My guess is a short or bad alternator.

I was assuming there was a short, I've disconnected the alternator and still blows the engine fuse.

Update again car runs and drives, had a fuel line leak and it leak all the gas out. Put some gas in and its running but does not idle correctly revs from about 1100 rpms to 1600 rpms, ive adjusted the tps and look for vacuum leaks.
