UHHH!!!! WTF did you just say? LMFAO!

Anyways to check a check engine light. If your CEL is on while the car is running, then yes you have a CEL= Check Engine Light.

Now find the blue 2 pin connector located in the passenger foot area usually behind the glove box by the blower motor. Now insert your key into the ignition and turn the key forwars 2 clicks. Do not try to start the motor. Ok now all your dash lights are on. SO now jump the connector using a paper clip, or wire, or something of the sort. Once jumped your CEL will start to BLINK.

LOng blink =10
short blink = 1

For an example.

bbbbbbllllllliiiiiinnnnkkkk pause.....bbbbbbllllliiiiiinnnnnnnkkkkkk = code 10

now blink blink blink= code 3

now bbbbbbbbllllllliiiiiiinnnnnkkkk blink blink =code 12

You have to pay attention to the time between the flashing lights to determine if you have more than 1 CEL.

I got CEL code for MAP sensor, normally if MAP sensor problem or bad it is imposibble it shutoff engine while running? And why my fuel pump continue running after i switch on ignition switch. Mostly all my friend car the fuel pump run and stop running when ignition switch on no start the engine.

The ECU/ECM controls the PGM-FI Main Relay, [ground to fuel pump relays coil] either the ECU/ECM is bad or the lead from the ECU/ECM to the PGM-FI Main Relay is shorting to ground.
What year is your Civic? 94

Mine civic ferio 1994. I just replace burn capacitor at c29, c30, c31, c32 and r88 that connected at middle transistor q22. Other component look fine, but i dont know if any component that faulty cause main relay short to ground

Finally i found some genius person that modify fuel pump direct on after ignition switch(ii). After i checking main relay wiring go to fuel pump, there was cut, and fuel pump wire up direct to ignition switch. I think old owner my car dont know that main relay problem that cause fuel pump not working, so he/she wire up direct ignition switch go to fuel pump.

And the problem is main relay pin 7 broken, that cause fuel pump not working, so i re solder pin 7 back and touch up all pin. Now car running more better.

here good reading for anyone have same symptom dizzy car :
