EFI fuse trouble

I have a 1990 4runner 3.0L that just started popping the EFI fuse out of no where. Has anyone had this issue before and where should I start with the troubleshooting? Any help is appreciated.

Common cause is an O2 sensor wire that is loose and falls against the hot exhaust, melting the insulation and causing a short. Good place to check, follow the wires from the O2 sensor(s) from where they plug into the exhaust back to the wiring harness.
