Question fuse

Im sorry to be a bother but I need some advice about this problem. I have owned a 2000 2.2 liter cavalier for about 5 years now with no electrical problems. About three weeks ago the car just dies in the middle of the road,after inspecting the inside fuse box I noticed the ign mod fuse was blown. So put another fuse in it and it started up and ran for three weeks then the same thing happened again. I bought a new fuse put it in and now its running fine again. I looked for shorts and could find none, even messed with all the starter wires and battery wires while the car was running and still no problems. I have noticed the fuse only blows once the car has been running for a while and once it blows it will do it every 8 to ten miles. If I let the car cool down over night I will be able to drive 30 mins or so before the fuse blows again. The fuse never blows when I start the car tho. Being that I checked the all wires on the outside of the car I decided lets get into the steering column and I am not sure about what I found no shorts on wires to fuse box or around the column. I did however notice that if I tapped the ignition switch with the end of a screw driver the car would die but not pop the fuse. So I checked the plugs connecting the switch and could find no short. So i figured their was a short inside the switch bought a new one installed it and tapped it gently and the car died still but no popped fuse. One question I have is the car supposed to die when i tap on the ignition switch? One more question is could a ignition coil going bad cause the fuse to pop only when the car was hot or running for a while? I am sorry for the length of the question (post) docs got me on adderall

Re: fuse

Ever think, that maybe someone was about to answer after reading your first post, but stopped after your second one?

And your third one, just about says it all....
