I have a b16 Crx and it shuts off when touching the B and/or C ECU plug. The car won't start again and I pinpointed it to the injectors not firing. Which wire/wires in ECU plug B and/or C would cause this problem?

I am receiving no codes, but I don't know if that is because the car dies before the ECU registers a code or if wire/wires in question have no ecu code.

if the injectors won't fire, there is an intermittent break in the wiring for them. trace them and ring them out. you should consider checking the earth as well, as this sounds like the symptom of a loose earth to the ECU.
What ECU? OBD0 or OBD1?
Is spark also affected? If so, focus on the crank sensor wires at OBD0 B10 and B12.
The wires at A1-A5 and A7 are also critically important for the injectors, but they don't pin to OBD0 connectors B or C.

Spark is not afftected
When I play with Plug A the car does not die. It is only when I play with b and c.
The two wires for the crank sensor (connector B) and the three wires for the MAP sensor (connector C - C11, 14, 15) seem to be the only possible candidates from what I can see.

I never thought to run a new ground to ecu, but I don't see a ground in plug b or c?
