I have a 2001 Toyota Camry that keeps blowing the gauge fuse. I have put an engine in this car and checked all the wires. They are good. Last night I started it and it worked fine until I gave it gas to 2-3,000 RPM. I held it there for a while then it blew the fuse. What could be the problem?

You have a short or something on the circuit the fuse protect using too many amps.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

I know I have a short but I thought maybe some one might have had this problem and could guide me in the right direction. I started unpluging sensors one at a time to see if I could narrow it down but haven't had any luck.

Which engine in this car? Was it doing this prior to the swapping the engine? There arent going to be any silver bullets, its going to require testing every portion of the circuit protected by the fuse. That fuse protects quite a few things, so could be a lengthy process. If this has happened as a result of work done on the vehicle, go over everything that was touched. Look at all the wiring for signs of being pinched, chafed, burnt or otherwise damaged. Do you have tools for electrical testing?

It has the 2.2 and no it wasn't doing it before. I have checked all of the wiring and haven't found anything wrong. This engine came with all sensors and the only thing I changed on it was the exhaust Man. I replaced the water pump and timing belt.

Just to add to what GC said: Apparently you got a used engine if sensors were on it so if you have old ones still from blown engine (from what - timing belt broke?) use those.
It's kind of a bad joke but just in the swapping of an engine so many things get disturbed. The joke is it's a way to find the strength of what you forgot to undo.
Wiring may look good and smashed inside. That's a nightmare to find IMO and clearly shorted if blowing a fuse. On that see if you can rig a resettable something in that slot of same amps or junkyard a ton of fuses as they got a bit pricey if you go thru a ton before finding this,

Here is everything that fuse powers so your problem is in one of these circuits.
My guess is check to see if your alternator is wired correctly.

That can be a wild problem so pick a plan so that doesn't happen again or lots worse, trust me.
OK that one is gone but others will do the same if always in the same conditions. Many assorted ways to control critter damage and will not list them all out as you need one suitable for your exact situation and where it's parked,
