Use an OBD-II reader to find out what the problem is.
PS, blowing a fuse usually means there's a short somewhere in the circuit the fuse protects. (too much current through the circuit); a bad knock sensor should just throw a ECU code, not blow a fuse.
what occurred just before the engine died?

Dead ECU?
(something fried inside it)
Pull it and have it tested.
Also, look at the wiring harness where it attaches to the ECU for signs of shorting.
Check the ECU ground on the engine. (it was on the thermostat housing in my 1991 CRX Si; it's probably there on your car as well.)
