One dead cylinder can make a Civic very hard to start. You should first replace the head, and then if it still won't start, troubleshoot further. After you have it running except for the VTEC, finish the conversion by replacing the ECU and doing the wiring.

That wire on the sensor is just for the temperature gauge on the dash, it will not prevent the engine from running.

If the fuse blew from hitting a big bump, there is likely a frayed wire somewhere that periodically shorts out. Is the new fuse still good?
