Ok guys,
Ek obd1 GSR B18c I/H/E p72 chipped.

I run the car normal... no cel

I turn off the car.
I turn on the car CEL is off
I drive normal for a while

I turn off the car to jump the CEL plug and its CEL is gone.

When the CEL turns on, leave the engine running while you jump the service connector.

If it's a single short blink, then it's code 1 for the O2 sensor.

All I can say is that it's a common issue for OBDI ECUs.
