Question about main relay 98 dx

Long story short I have a dx coupe swapped b16. p28 ecu. Recently the car has been randomly stalling out and wont restart until i wiggle around the ecu wires

one thing i noticed when i wiggle around the wires or ecu the main relay clicks. i can make it click infinitly as long as im wiggling the wires, which i dont THINK is normal

is it? if not, is it safe to say i have a cut//messed up wire somewhere between the ecu and main relay?

if it is normal then...anyone have a suggestion as to why my car has been intermittently stalling? i have managed to make it stall by shaking around ecu wires and at the same time, able to make it start when it just turns over by playing with the ecu wires

Yeah, it shouldn't be doing that. You have an open somewhere. Check the harness really good, especially where it goes thru the firewall and the wires going into the ECM/PCM connectors.

Fix that wire/connector and do a wire tuck ASAP if you haven't done it yet.
