Default Need advice on why my engine is dying out periodically

Can anyone give me some answers/advice?
-Sometimes my car has trouble turning over, it'll keep churning, but it doesn't turn. If I wait a while, it eventually turns. BUT...

-Sometimes when my car does turn over, right away the idle starts dropping real fast, until my car dies out. It holds after a couple tries/patience. Sometimes this problem doesn't even happen, but more often it does.

-It's not fuel pump, fuel relay switch, intake manifold. Took it to a shop to get everthing check, they said they couldn't find anything wrong.

-No check engine lights or ecu codes flash.

Anyone know what's going on? Please post with some advice on how to fix this.

This is my 91 Civic Hatch, b16

Wiggle on the wires at the ECU and see if it dies.

Ok, I'll try both and see if anything happens. Though, my car doesn't die out during 1/4 mile runs, so I don't think it'll be a loose connection or something of that sort.
