Default egr valve issues with b18b hatch. HELP!

I've searched for topics covering this but did not come up with anything that helped. I have a 94 si hatch with a 93 b18b engine. I've gone through a lot of problems with my CEL and finally got everything right, except for code 12. Code 12 has something to do with the egr valve, but my car had/has no egr! I dont believe my Si engine had an EGR either. I'm running a 99 gsr tranny with the swap and thought maybe the previous tranny was an auto (which had an egr?). But I cannot find any evidence of an egr valve on the engine and this has me very confused. I know the CEL isnt affecting anything, but Its annoying watching that light come on once I get down the road. LMK if you guys have had this kind of trouble and how you fixed it. thanks

It is deifnitely the ECU. Automatic non-VTEC Integras have EGR. So if you are running an automatic ECU and don't have the EGR connected, you will run a code 12. The solution? Get a manual transmission ECU.

Thanks for the replies. I'm checking into it today, I'm not too experienced with ecu's... How do I know if its auto and what ecu should I get? Thanks again and merry Christmas.
