Have you tried scanning it? If it is OBD1, you'll have to get the flash codes using the paperclip method, and counting the CEL flashes. I had to do this with my 2000 Si that I swapped a B20 into. I don't know exactly how to do this, my car-savvy friend helped me with it, but it seems simple enough if you know what you're looking for. there are directions online.
