I have a pcm asd fuse keeps on blowing so I unplug the coil pack and then I trued the key see what would happen the fuse did not blow. So then I treed to turn the car on and on cranking power. So I tested the battery with a volt meter and got a 12.4 volts. Took the batt to auto zone to test it and they said it is good. What could be wrong with this vehicle?

That's pointing to a bad coil.

I don't care what Autozone thinks. The fuse blows when it's plugged in and doesn't blow when it's unplugged. Something is shorting when the coil is plugged in.
