Default possible 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.

check your wiring. did you use an ESM/resistor box for the supercharger to hide boost? if you spliced into those wires on the engine harness, i would recheck them for damage or bad connections. when those wires aren't flowing good current all sorts of cool things can happen while driving. ask me how i know

Yeah, it's a short, or a loose/bad ground. Check and re-check time!
