Default Fuel pump stays on/ Injector fuse blows

I am working on a 2004 ES 330 it's has been sitting for over a year-and-a-half after a car accident on the driver side. The car ran after the Collision because it was parked in the garage by driving it. I emptied the fuel tank Buy having constant power to the pump. I had to get all of the fuel out because the fuel was old like turpentine. I've been replaced the fuel with fresh gas. the problem I'm having now is when I turn the key to have power, the fuel pump Primes but then stays on constantly, when I try to start the car it just turns over and over and over without starting. And that's why I just come to learn that my injectors are not spraying which came to the fuse panel and on the engine fuses fuse keeps blowing as soon as it has power can anyone please help me with these issues do I have a bad fuel pump is a fuel pump going bad and what causes the fuse to blow as soon as it has power does that mean I am ground is broken somewhere or I have too much power somewhere I do not know thank you for anyone's help

Disconnect the fuel pump and see if the fuses still blow. Is it possible there is damage to the engine or body harness due to the crash?

The injectors will be stuck. (part of the issue).

- you can either install new ones, or reconditioned ones.
- or remove yours and have them cleaned.
- or you can try the old trick and remove them, soak the tips in fresh fuel for a day or two, then apply 12v across the poles and tap them with a screw driver until they free up.

re- the fuse blowing, the injector loom is pretty simple, but it does have a relay in it. I would source another relay. otherwise, I'd check the loom for damage from rodents. that means finding the injector loom / wiring on the engine, and opening it up and checking the wires up until they pass through the firewall. It's a fairly simple affair.

The smarter way to check would be to remove the upper manifold, and do an ohms test on each power pole (striped wire) for each injector plug against earth. The coloured wires go to the ecu, they are earths. The ecu triggers the injectors by grounding them out.
