Take the injector out and test it. AA battery should be enough to actuate it. If it works, check your wire. DSM injectors? How did you wire them up?

If a fuse it blown, typically is gonna be the whole MPFI fuse and none of the injectors would work. On the DSM, there is a pack of resistors on the firewall that control each individual injector. If your honda is the same, one of those could have gone or the injector itself is siezed. I would pull each out and test them with the battery. Not sure if a AA battery will work for high impedance injectors however.

Does it crank?

I would start by checking the main fuel relay. Then check the coil. If those are good, it could be a bad injector, or a bad distributor…
