Check Engine Light Help
The car is a 99 civic ex
ok, heres my situation, a while ago, we put a test pipe on my car, well my cel went off b/c of the o2 sensor, well while installing an o2 simulator, it got messed up pretty bad...so now i'm running a 92-95 civic, w/o the o2 bung...so of course, my light is on for primary o2 sensor and heater...well i'm thinking about going to the obdI conversion, now i've heard that if i do the obdI ecu, that light will go off b/c obdI ecu's were only made to read one 02 sensor, will the light go away? thanks

Ok, first, if this is a street car; If you reverse your car to OBD1, you're tampering (severly) with your emissions system. If you have to take that car anywhere to be tested, they'll plug into the stock harness, the ECU will have no idea what the hell is going on (due to it being OBD1) and they'll instantly know.
As Ricey McRicerton put in another thread, that's a "federal pound-me-in-the-*** prison" offense.
Second, a conversion to OBD1 isn't exactly a cakewalk. it involves either buying a bunch of (IMO silly expensive) conversion harnesses, or repinning your distributor, and rewiring a few things, or replacing said OBD2 parts, etc.
In all cases, it's probably a lot easier and cheaper to just fix your current problem.
Third,

I have no idea what this means. You're running a 92-95 civic what? Also, if you messed up an O2 simulator install (which baffles me), you're not ready to do an OBD1 conversion.
