I have a 98 civic lx and i just realized that the cel doesn't flash when i first turn the car on. Is that normal? All other cars i know of hace the cel come on for a couple seconds when the car first starts.

Is there a bulb in the cluster?

Probably the bulb was removed to mask a problem, or the bulb is just plain burnt out.
There will be only 6 screws to remove, check it. 2 on the cluster guard, 4 for the cluster itself.

I believe it's a #74

awesome I got the bulb and yes the CEL is on
the scanner said its a bank 1 sensor 2 which I'm assuming is an o2 sensor.

There should also be a code that goes along with the "diagnosis". This code should be universal and you can search for it online to find a description of what it means. The code should start with P0 and have three numbers after that.

its P0141

That will be your secondary o2 sensor, after the catalytic converter.

Sorry I took long to update the post. I have changed both sensors and replaced the catalytic converter and reset the ecu but the same codes still pop up. Im thinking it mightvbe a wiring issue instead

That, or your exhaust manifold is cracked. Double check the manifold for cracks

The converter was a 2 piece exhaust manifold with the converter. When i scanned the ecu after i replaced the parts it said that those parts were not registered with the ecu
