Default Short in ECU? Please help

Well my car has been sputtering, and dying, and idling high and then low constantly and randomly shutting off on the highway. I took it to honda nad friggin 85 dollars later just to hook up to computer to check cel, it said torque sensing error, speed sensing error, and a few other problems. The mechanic said it could possibly be a short in one of my wires? Now the heat bars will drop 1 or 2 bars and then the car will shut off, or it wont let it rev above 4k and the car basically wont move, and I have to turn key off and then right back on. PLEASE HELP!!!!

supercharger was installed previously. We took it off made it NA. Then I was going to turbo so we took injectors/map sensor, and other parts for the swap off. We recently re soldered the injector clips/map sensor w harness. One of the o-rings on the top of my 3rd injector is chipped and is leaking fuel as well. But before even while supercharged it had the same problem. I always thought it was crappy gas cause gas has ethanol in some places back home.

I've had a similar issue with my AEM EMS. Adding a big ground between the ECU and the chassis helped things, but the problem was due to a missing ground between the engine and the chassis. You can easily use booster cables to ground your engine to the chassis (2 clamps on chassis, 2 other clamps on engine).

Try that out and let us know.
