Electrical problem
1997 Other Kia Models Engine Size unknown Wheel Drive Type unknown Manual 120000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
1997 Kia Sephia Brand new alternator and battery and main fuse. Ran for about 5 minutes, stalled, smoke began at fuse box under hood. Possibly the bolt connected to main fuse not tight enough?? Burned the main fuse. Could this be the problem, car has been sitting for several months.

I wouldnt think so, but I would fix your short and rewire the burned out portion.
