Default 82 c.e. Cross fire fuse issue

The rear(drivers side) injector regularly blows the 3 amp fuse. Seems to run well as long as the fuse is in order.
Seems to happen when the engine gets to operating temp approx 200degrees. I have tried repositioning wires that were laying on the intake manifold and a large wire loom with many wires bundled that was laying on the thermastat housing.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
The care is original with 22,000 miles
thank you

if you are sure that the wires are not touching any thing I would think about the injector .it may be shorting out .

I spoke to Dynamic Crossfire Solutions and they did not think it was an injector issue. I am waiting to see if I have any more blown fuse issues since I moved the last wire loom which was resting on the thermastat housing.
thanks for you input
