A) Those are relays, not fuses

B) EGI pump is your fuel pump.

More than likely, the coils inside the relay are slightly destroyed from whatever caused the relay to pop, so it's making contact to transfer power, but not enough to make the pump run properly. I've seen the pumps pump slowly when they don't have enough juice, so you're probably getting enough to get the car going, but not enough to make it run right.

Call up nissan and order a new one. The green should be an open relay (requiring power to complete the circuit)
