On Sportage, check ECU fuse (10-amp) in passenger compartment fuse box and MAIN fuse (15-amp) and FUEL INJ fuse (30-amp) in engine compartment fuse/relay box. Replace fuse(s) as necessary and check for cause of blown fuse. If fuses are okay, check EGI main relay. See RELAYS  under RELAYS & SOLENOIDS. If relay is okay, locate and repair open between main relay and ECM connector.
