Car started to misfire, then would not turn on.(FIXED)

Ok so this is a recent but fixed problem. I had a really hard time finding info on this so I decided to post my issue. I hope that this may help someone in a similar situation.

So here's what happened. My car started to misfire on the interstate. It then died on me completely. I had it towed home and after checking several items, I decided to check my IG coil fuse in the kicker panel. It was blown. So I swapped it out, and the car started. It then blew that fuse as well. I took the starter relay out(check for a short), still blew the fuse. My next step was to unplug all the IG coils. Turned the key, no blown fuse. One by one I plugged in a coil. Then the last coil #6 blew the fuse. I unplugged the coil and the car came back to life. Moral of the story is check your fuses and follow the problem back to the source.

Hopefully this will be helpful for others, Have a great day!
