Angry MAJOR WIRING ISSUE, *PLZ READ* & HELP

OK...MY STREAK OF BAD LUCK CONTINUES.HERE IS HOW THE STREAK GOES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.SATURDAY NIGHT THE CAR DIED, YEAH SOME OF U PROBABLY REMEMBER MY RECENT POST "NEEDS MECHANICS HELP ASAP".ANYWAYS, THE CAR WENT TO SHOP, THE TECHNICIAN GUY TOLD ME HE CHANGED THE DIZZY AGAIN AND DIDN'T START. AFTER DISCOVERING THIS, HE DECIDED TO START DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, SHOOK UP THE HARNESS WIRES AND DECIDED TO CRANK IT, IT STARTED AGAIN, HE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT'S RUNNING FINE.AT THIS POINT, HE TOLD ME THAT I'M UP TO $90 SO FAR FOR HIS TIME SO FAR AND IT'S GONNA COST ME ALOT $$$ IF I WANTED HIM TO CONTINUE TROUBLE SHOOTING. I WASN'T TOO CONFIDENT OF HIM BEING TOO SOUND WITH WIRING, SINCE IT TOOK HIM LIKE 8 HOURS TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM, SO I SAID I'LL COME PICK MY CAR UP. PICKED IT UP DROVE FOR A DAY AND A HALF FINE, GOT OFF WORK AND CAR WOULD NOT START ONCE AGAIN. SO...WHATEVER IN THE WIRING THAT'S CAUSING THE CAR TO DO THIS...I DON'T KNOW..HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME ONCE AGAIN SINCE ALL SHOPS ARE CLOSED FOR GOOD FRIDAY. I DESPERATELY NEED WITH THIS , SO FAR I'VE SPENT $310 AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.:cry: THE CAR IS AT MY HOUSE AND IT'S EITHER TWO THINGS, 1. SOMEONE WHO'S REPUTABLE AND SOUND IN THE FIELD OF WIRING(MEANING, KNOWS THE WIRING FOR A 92 CIVIC LIKE THE BACK OF THEIR HANDS) CAN TAKE A LOOK, OR 2. BASED ON THE SUGGESTIONS I GET FROM U GUYS, I'LL HAVE IT TOWED TO A GOOD SHOP ON SATURDAY MORNING. ONCE AGAIN...ALL SUGGESTIONS AND HELPFUL ADVISE IS WELCOMED, ALSO THE NAMES AND NUMBERS OF A SHOP THAT KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE DOING FOR WIRING, PREFERABLY ONE THAT DOESN'T CHARGE FOR INSPECTION AND PROBLEM DISCOVERY.OK ENOUGH SAID, EXCEPT FOR: PLEASE HELP!

check for broken clips on harnesses and if there are any try tightening with electrical tape, also check all of your grounds

I had a similar intermiitent problem. Had trouble tracking it down but ended up taking covers off relays and found cold solder joints. Just reflowed the solder and the problem never came back.
