Probably not but you are lucky with a blown fuse that car started. Replace fuse then scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

No. It didn't start. That is how it acted. Before it died. I thought it was the battery, but it wasn't. Changed battery. Still no start, then I saw the fuse.

Clean out the idle air control valve and EGR valve and test the TPS and MAF sensors-
