1G B16A ECU troubles

hey guys,

got a CEL about an hour ago, checked out the ECU and the LED is on but it's not flashing,

does that mean '1'? (o2 sensor) or does it mean '10', anyone know?

thanks

doesn't the light being on constantly mean its in limp mode or possibly messed up?
Whats the car doing? Is it running ok or really crappy?

it was driving ok.. I don't know I just unplugged the battery and tried again and it's gone...

hopefully ti doesn't come back :/

that was really weird though I haven't had any problems since I put the motor in about 2 months ago.

It actually happened to me, CaptHowdy being my bro.
I couldn;t get the car over 3000rpm. It was gutless to 3000rpm and then it would just bog out and mis fire.
I unplugged the battery on the side of the road for 5 seconds, started her back up and shes running fine.

After doing some research, it says that when the ecu does that it means the ECU is toast...Funny how it runs fine now.......Damn, I gotta do my OBD1 conversion.
