Default finally figured out my ecu and i need help

I mentioned before in other topics that i couldnt figure out how to read my codes. well i figured it out. there is a red push buttin wired to my ecu and i had to ground out the one wire. I grounded it out and when i started the car the ecu light was on, well i pushed the button then it blinked twice and then a really fast short blink. I have a 88-91 book but i have the p28 ecu and thats not the stock ecu. Can anyone hook me up with some trouble shoot codes? THANKS

it blinked 2 times slow then 1 fast does that mean both oxygen sensors are out?
and would that prevent my car from starting?

Each slow = 10
Each Fast = 1

Your motor is fine, it is just not getting a proper read from the VTEC circuit so a wire could be loose, the solinoid could be bad, etc etc.

Any OBD-1 ECU will start the car, but if it isn't for the motor you will just throw more odd codes.
