Default blown fuse

I have a 95 4cyl Camry been running great then the other day I shut it off and it will crank over but not start after cheking a few things I found it had a blown 30 amp fuse that is for the ignition I replaced the fuse and disconnected the wire to the ditributor as soon as i spun it over the fuse blew again I have never had any trouble till now and my guess it is the ignition switch itself that has shorted has anyone else had this same problem ?
thank you BUSHHAWG

What label name does the fuse have?

Most likely this fuse also powers other circuits such as ign coil and injectors. There is a condenser on this circuit to reduce ign interference to the radio, it might have failed and is now shorted to the chassis. It is located near the ign coil, igniter area.

Might have a white/red wire going to it and a brown wire running from it to ground.

This fuse powers the injectors, ign coil, igniter, engine and trans computers.

The wires on this circuit may be white/red in color.

Suggest you start first by determining if the the noise filter (condenser) is shorted, this would ground this power wire.

Then check other components.

Disconnect the power from this fuse to these components then reconnect one at a time until the fuse blows.

Are you stating the fuse does not blow when the ign switch is turned to ON but blows when the key is turned to start?

The ignition system will be on when the switch is ON. The injectors will be off. If you can find the power wire to the injector (might be white/red) disconnect it and determine what happens.
