First, don't apologize for being a girl. Some of my best friends are girls! Besides, there are just as many guys who don't know what end of a screwdriver to hold as there are girls.
The SID needs the repair cited above. There's nothing to fix but the connector.
DIC's don't seem to limp along day after day. They either start giving errors then fail, or they just die. They raerely do predictable lumpiness from what I see posted.
Assuming you've done the basics like change the spark plugs and air filter (and if you haven't, do them) I would look or a vaccum leak. If you know someone who is mechanicaly inclined, they can change the spark plugs, air filter, and replace the small vaccum lines in less than an hour with no manual and no previous knowledge. Use ONLY the original NGK plugs per your manual. Plugs cost $10, Air filter $20 or so, 10' of vacuum hose less than $10.
No matter what it is, no mechanic will do any diagnostics without doing the basics first.
