02 kia spectra fan/blower not working, all fuses relays good but no power to either? ??

No power to heater blower fuse? this isn't separately fused to my knowing ,if there wasn't any power to this fuse other devices wouldn't work as well , as fuse under hood supplies power to many things , what ive found many many times to satisfy this complaint is that yes there is power to underdash fan , but its rusted up and cant turn , rust occurs when ac drain backs up and water has nowhere to run ,except to motor , then rust starts !!

My car is over heating and only three injectors working what can i do fix the car again

If it's over heating you have one of the following :
1) thermostat stuck
2) coolant leak
3) radiator clogged
4) cooling fans not working
5) blown headgasket
6) cracked head or block

if it has overheated more than once you define have #5 or 6 and this is a major repair. In the US this would cost you around $500 in parts at a minimum...plus labor.

this may also be why you think the injector is bad. The first step would be to do a compression test on each cylinder. They should all be with in 10% of each other and in total be within 10% of factory specifications.
If any are lower then you have #5 or 6
