My car keeps shooting the fuse labeled ECU. If the weather is cold outside it runs fine but if the temperature gets around 50 or higher and I get stopped at a light for very long the fuse shoots when I take off. Any ideas?

Sounds like you have an input sensor wire grounding out some where on the ECM system. I would look at anything that moves when you take off from a stop. Ie; throttle position sensor, along the throttle or brake linkage, anything that would move on braking or takeoff. Good luck.
