Default b16/ef OBD0 ....check engine light is on but ecu isnt showing any codes

PR3 ecu

car wont rev above 3k
just put a new headunit in and then it started doing this

the check engine light is on but the LED on the ECU isn't flashing, its just on steady

its been awhile since ive read codes on this but i dont remember having to do anything, should't they just be blinking in the LED?

DAMN, went back out and its dead, wont' do anything. Tried to jump it and dash lights come on but doesnt crank at all. WTF

This all happened right after i put a new headunit in so i unplugged the head unit just in case it was shorting something but made no difference


ideas?

It's got to be a fuse. Check all your fuses.

checked all the blade type fuses, both engine bay and in the car, none are blown

is there a way to test the ECU? i dont know anyone w/ a pr3/pw0 that i can borrow


What ECU's can this setup run?

OBD0: pr3, pw0
OBD1: ????

and as i said before, is there anything else that will make it run but maybe not well or w/o vtech (so i could get the car home to work on it)
