P28 ECU doesn't have knock sensor circuitry either, so your CEL isn't coming from this...

convert the auto P28 to manual... http://www.pgmfi.org/twiki/bin...anual

the P08 will work, JDM 1991 is OBD1 and tends to be the same as USDM 92. Not always though...
Even though you an use the P08, the P28 would be suggested due to slightly different internal settings to the ECU.

IF you can solder, and only if you can solder well should you try to tackle this project. If you mess something up you will be using that P08.
If you know someone that can work with this sort of thing tell them to remove RP17 and jumper RP18.
it's a two minute job for someone that knows how to solder well.

from WIKIpedia - a jumper is a short length of conductor used to close a break in or bypass part of an electrical circuit.

best way to do it....
remove RP17 and RP18
solder in one leg from another resistor into RP18 location.
