1994 960 running good then bad and now throwing codes 900 1994

Did not want to continue to hijack the other thread and make it confusing so here we go. I have replaced the camshaft position sensor and the oxygen sensor. The check engine light stayed on and it still threw a code 314 after replacement. Did not seem to make much difference on the way it ran besides losing the O2 code of 212. Every time I have tried to duplicate the poor running conditions my wife has told me about the wagon runs fine for me.
Last night she pulled in and I was able to get at it. It stumbled and the RPMs were jumping around a bit. Broke out the trouble light pushed, prodded, pinched and squeezed and could not get anything to improve in the motor area. Shut the motor off and let it sit for a few seconds and it fired right up and ran fine. It was dark and late so I told her to go ahead and drive it the next day.
Apparently it just died on her again while in motion going up hill and again later on in a straight a way today. It still would only throw a 314 code when I checked it today so I slid up the cover on the box on the driver side strut tower and looked around and it looks like some grounds have been added. I also found a taped wire for the ground for the injectors at the rail. I pushed on these wires and checked the codes again. Now I get a code 314, 113, 115, and 212. Telling me all my fuel injectors, oxygen sensor and camshaft position sensor are suspect. I am thinking I have a major wire loose somewhere. The problem has not been presenting itself until now. I believe I have checked the obvious without pulling anything apart so now I need to dive in.

Question. What is a good how to book? I have read and printed a lot of the FAQ section and have found it to be a very valuable resource but some of the things I've looked for I could not find. I have a good OHM meter and am not scared of electronic components.......too much........ If you've read this far into my book I appreciate it. Many thanks
