When I crank my car up it cranks but when you put it in gear it shuts off. The fuel injector fuse is not working and the O2 sensor fuse is not working, all other fuses are working. I replaced both fuses and it is still not getting power to those two fuses.

The fuel injectors are run by the PCM relay and the oxygen sensors are run by fuse #5. I would unplug the oxygen sensors and then replace the fuse and start the engine to see if the fuse blows. If not you have a shorted oxygen sensor heater. Here is a guide to help you change it out:

Please run down this guide and report back.
