Sounds like you have a wire shorted to ground. Start following toe wires from the fuel pump back along the frame and see if you can find the short.

it is probably your downstream O2 sensor wires grounding out, this is a common problem for neons since the O2 sensors are on the same circuit as the fuel pump fuse. mine had the same problem, i had 4 wires behind the engine melted together and grounding out blowing my fuse, i would follow the downstream O2 sensor wires and make sure they are good

Like they said its a grounded wire somewhere....you have to find it. it could be anywhere from the fuse panel back to the fuel pump and anything else that is on that circuit...thats alot of wire to go threw....sorry man.

Ive heard of bad fuel pumps blowing fuses. you should try and swap a junkward pump in and see if it helps
