92 civic without spark or fuel

Okay so my 92 honda civic lx is still not running. It wasnt getting any spark or fuel. I replaced the main relay and nothing. I checked the fuel pump for power,everythings fine there. So I did the map sensor test and from what people say on here. Its bad. I turned the key on so al the lights came on, the cel was on then i unplugged the map sensor for several min and it went out! Before this I had a backyard mechanic check the distibutor and I think he may of put it back a little different. Because it turns over funny now, like not the typical honda sound, lol Going back to the map sensor test. I plugged it back in and tried starting it and I heard the fuel pump and everything. It almost started but the distributor wasnt acting right, and the engine light was off for a few minutes and it came back on, now it wont engage fuel pump. I really think its the map sensor, because when I unplugged the sensor my cel went out. Its always been on for a year at least. But this is the crazy thing the mechanic did the test to see if my ECM was bad. And it tested bad. But then he found a so called ground coming from the ECM under the hood right by the map sensor. And it was grounded in the wrong place for a long time. But the screw wasnt tight at all. It really wasnt even making connection. But he told me that its a ground that had power!! ? He took it off what it was grounded to and did the ECM test over and it said the Computer was fine! ???? So is this normal? I am about ready to junk the car but It has too much money into it. When he grounded the three wires all hooked together on a better ground it sparked and made the speedometer bounce from 0 to 100 mph! And when these wires are not touching any metal, the Cel light is off! the ground has 12volts of power going to it. What should I do? Is the car screwed? HELP PLEASE btw the mechanic told me that a map sensor wouldnt stop you from getting any spark and gas. I think hes wrong, Right? lol
