Default B16A3 help

so I've had issues with my car it seems like one week she runs good the next week she's dying on me. its a 1996 honda civic hatchback with a b16a3 dohc vtec. i guess ill start with my first issues with her so she blew a head gasket about 3 months ago a little DYI project got her back up running had the head machined new gaskets, belt water pump etc the whole nine yards then she had a low idle messed with it then she had a high idle around 1500-2000. ran for about a week then had a fuel pump issue changed that back up and running had some ground issues got her back up and running then a week later right on time she dies out I'm dealing with a wiring issues getting hot and blowing my fuses so i got a new ecu (p28) after mine fried and a new main rely after that fried lol so now i have to go and get a whole new wiring harness and start over any tips any experience with dealing with any of this? I've been checking everything with a test light can't find anything out of the ordinary. i would really like to do it my self and not take her into a shop i know i pry left out some stuff any questions just ask thanks

You need a meter to test for continuity, shorts to ground or other wiring, a test light can't do that. 94
