Need help cel code 68
I have a 93 del sol with a d16y8 engine obd1 p28 ecu not chipped. My check engine light comes on an off, sometimes when I'm driving or sometimes when I start my car. When it comes on, I turn my key off an on until it goes away, or sometimes it just stays on. When it comes on it causes the car to idle an drive funny an kicks off a bad smell from the exhaust. And my v-tec don't work, right when it hits around 4 and half to 5 rpm it just drops back. So I plug it in an got the cel code and its giving me 68. 6 long followed by 8 fast. I know there isn't 68 but I did it a lot of times an still the same code, an sometimes the cel stay solid no blinks just stays on. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

First, make sure the ECU is 100% completely and totally unmolested. Even better, take the top off the ECU, take a picture of it, and post it.
Second, make a video of your CEL blinking and post it. CEL 68 is basically your car's way of saying "**** you". There's no single simple diagnosis.

Your ECU has been chipped, it isn't stock. See that chip in the bottom left, with all the white **** crusted on it? That's an aftermarket chip. For a chipped ECU, CEL 68 means either the code has gone wrong, or the solders are fucked up.
Call up zenocron. Tell them what you have in your car, and what you need. They'll cut you a new chip. That's your cheapest option. The second option is to buy the correct ECU for the car. Assuming you don't know how to check solder joints, I'd start with option 1, then go to option 2 if a new chip doesn't fix the problem.
