Default 82 c3 cfi question

I am new to the form and have a CFI question of course.
My rear (passenger side) injector regularly blows ist 3a fuse. I have traced wires made sure they were not sitting on manifold etc.
Car runs and idles well.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Paul

Maybe the injector itself is bad??

I really don't think so as it works well as long as the fuse is in working order. I spoke to DCS crossfire service specialist and they said they didn't think it was the injector.
I did move all wires away from the intake manifold and a large wire loom with many wires bundled that was laying on top of the thermastat housing.
Maybe it is the heat on the wires? I will wait and see if that helps.
thanks
