find out what code its throwing...

you can use a paperclip to stick in the end of the blue connector, and the CEL will flash, Long = 10 short = 1

Just bend a paper clip in half and use it as a jumper...like the wire in the picture.

EDIT: BTW, what have you been doing to kill a clutch in a 99 si already??

The 99-00 Si clutch BLOWS BIGTIME... Mine was gone at 30k miles... most people i know have had similar experiences... I do know some people that have made it to 100k though... but the clutch was DISINTEGRATED when they took it out...

So all I gotta do is unplug the ECU and put a paper clip in there and it'll give me the code?

and turn the key(dont turn it on) and the cel will blink.
long blinks are 10's, short are 1's
