help reading CEL code- i have the series of flashes

whats up guys. this is for a 1991 SI

it goes like this

one flash
then three flashes

ten flashes

fourteen flashes

does this car's cell code corespond one flash as 10 or is all individual...

from what i gather, i have codes 1, 3, 10, and 14.

correspondingly, o2 sensor ,map sensor, IAT sensor, IAC valve.

thats from http://www.c-speedracing.com/faq/05.php

my car drives and then stutters sometimes and it feels really sluggish and jerks a bit as if its gonna die or as if fuel is cutting
off...anyone had anything similar?

at other times it feels like the car is getting a surge of power, and then it backs off and goes sluggish, and then gets another surge of power and then slugish again, all while my foot is on the gas.

sounds like the car is flooding with fuel. Computer might be stuck in limp mode. Try cleaning out all the sensors make sure everything is wired up right.

I have the exact same problem on my stock engine 93 Civic SI. I changed my 02 Sensor but it didnt do anything and it keeps doing it, but when i shut off my car and start it back up again it goes away. So if anyone has a solution to this problem I would really like to know as well.
