2002 Civic keeps blowing ingnition Coil Fuse

I'm hoping that you guys can help a newbie out! On my 2002 Civic LX the ignition coil 15 amp fuse keeps blowing. It will run fine. Turn it off, cranks up fine and runs fine multiple times. Then turn it off and try the next day and it blows the fuse and won't crank. Try it again and it just turns over trying to start. Change the fuse, cranks and runs fine. Any advise would be much appreciated!!

Check the coils and replace only the bad one. http://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/honda/1.7L/how-to-test-the-ignition-coils-1

Wiggle harnesses with it running and see if it stumbles or blows the fuse...there's a lot of wire between the fuse and the coils

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I will be testing everything shortly and will update. Anything else I should look at?
