CEL after d16y8 motor swap... can't pull a code...
-
Hey guys quick question. Over the weekend we put a d16y8 into my 92 hatch. The motor starts and runs pretty well. However, I have a check engine light haunting me. The check engine light won't come on until the car has been running for like 5-10 seconds, and if I try to pull the code it just stays solid. One thing you should know if I'm running open header until I get my exhaust done on monday. Would that be why, or what else can I check?

the light is on the whole time the car is running.... after the 5-10 second delay. it just clears itself each time. if the motor is not running the cel is gone. you know how usually you can just pull the cel by having the key in the on position. I don't know if I'm making sense here.

I put a toggle switch for those 2 wires right above the ECU, just flip the switch and the light will stay on solid then flash the codes.
