Default Obd1 b18b1 swap CEL

I swapped an OBD1 b18b1 into my 97 DX hatch using an EX harness and an OBD2a > OBD1 jumper harness and a p75-a01 ecu, it runs great, It doesn't smoke or burn oil at all! My only gripe is that when I put my key in and turn it to the on position, the CEL comes on and then goes out at the same time that the fuel pump finishes priming. When I start the car it takes about 2-3 seconds until the CEL comes on and then it just stays on solid. Any ideas?

Its showing 3 quick flashes first and then 5 slow ones. So thats a code 3 (map sensor) and a code 41(primary o2) Correct? Also my SRS light is blinking when I have the service connector jumped, but normally it is on solid, Ive tried to reset the SRS light in the past but to no avail. Video of said codes

Yea, I went through and edited my post and forgot to change the initial flash numbers. it is 3 half second flashes followed by 4-1 second flashes and 1 half second flash. As far the the SRS goes: First I am getting 9 long flashes followed by 2 short ones. Then I am getting 6 long flashes followed by 2 short ones. Then I am getting 1 long one followed by 1 short one. After that it just goes on solid.

I really would like to get my SRS light to turn off. Luckily there is no emissions inspection where I live so the lights on the dash are the only things that could give me trouble.

Start by replacing the SRS unit.

You need to remove the right or left side cover to see it:

In addition to a bad SRS unit, the driver's airbag and the VB line wire that supplies power to the SRS system may also be bad. Has your car been in a violent accident?

Not that I know of...Lets put it this way, the people I bought it from were less than reputable. The swap was done incorrectly and it was running on the wrong computer, there weren't even seat belts in the car when I bought it. All of the problems that I bought with the car are resolved, except for this current one. I do know, however, that there is no problem with the frame at all and that there is no rust underneath my car.
