sometimes just spraying a lubricant on the actuator will free it up from dust or corrosion ..Most likely the acuator will have to come out and be replaced.You have checked the fuse so check connections as well. In some vehicles a wire harness through the door hinge area can have wires broken so check for broken wires also.

the valves are hydraulic lifters. You replace the entire lifter as the valves are not adjustable .

make sure your belt tensioner is in good shape, if there is not enough pressure on the belt it will slip as well.

Replace the o2 sensor, clear the code with a scanner. Not a fuse problem

usually from a loose or worn alternator belt/ serpentine belt and worn tensioner.

check if you have a viscous fan hub as from what you describe it appears that it has failed and is not driving the fan when idling. If you have an electric fan then it is not working properly if at all.

Had the same problem with two cars I had. First was fixed with a radiator flush and refill, second was fixed with a new water pump and belt. I would also look at the radiator and see if there is a lot of bugs and other gunk on it. That can cause the heat not to dissipate without the speed of driving pushing air over it. Pressure washer or coin-op car wash wash high pressure sprayer can clean that off.

don't understand what u want to know

You have a short somewhere. A fuse is a protective device against too much current. A spike in current indicates a free flow of electricity through the fuse. No way should the ecu be drawing more than the fuse can handle. A short somewhere would draw a LOT more power than the fuse can handle and would blow the fuse. NEVER replace a fuse with a higher amperage fuse. Use only the recommended size fuse. If it keeps blowing, you still have a problem. Fuses are cheap, burning your car to the ground will be expensive.

Vapor lock. or weak fuel pump or filter.

It is a possibility. If the computer does not know where the crank shift is at the moment it can advance timing causing the engine to run hotter. Which should also mean your not burning your gas properly
