    It's an 89 Toyota Pickup. I got some stuff done to it.. FJ axles going under it soon.
    I'd check your 40A AM1 fuse under the hood, it's directs power to your ignition and your fuel supply(pump, injectors).
    AM2 is also a direct shot to your ignition switch.


    If there elements are broken, replace them. If they keep blowing, you have a direct short between the fuse and your ignition switch/fuel supply.
    It also could be a internal short inside your ignition switch(replace the switch)

    I HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY
    :facepalm:
    It was the 40A fuse, i just needed a multimeter to find out the bad one, which i couldn't get to until tonight. Thanks guys for all the great tips/help i appreciate it and hopefully i'll stop destroying stuff. On a more positive note, i got my Flowmaster 40 on tonight too and it sounds nice :D

    hmmm not too sure, it was in the engine compartment and one of the ignition fuses i believe, to be honest i just wanted to get the damn thing running and bought a 40A ignition fuse and it works haha.
