Default Intermittant CEL question

The car in question is a civic with a '96 B18C1 swap w/ obd1 GSR ecu. After my car warms up and I'm in VTEC for a couple of seconds, my CEL will usually come on and stay on until I shut the car off. The next time I start the car, the CEL will be off and the cycle repeats itself. Any ideas?

I haven't noticed any adverse driveability concerns, by the way.

it's hard to check the CEL the standard way if it's off every time you start your car.

ps -- I'm having nearly this exact problem.

The ECU's stores the code... It doesn't go away just because the light's off.
