Default CEL at 50 mph

Okay i just removed, my ac and PS. And i took my car out for a drive, now every time around 50 mph my check engine light turns on. I tried to jump the service conector but the CEL doesnt do anything. I think it is that sensor in one of the PS lines, going to the pump that i didnt disconect, could this be? Can anyone give me some insight on this?

Oh yea my intake filter is realllllllllllyyy dirty, and PS fluid dripped on and around the o2 sensor when i was removing the the Power steering.
I have a 1995 honda prelude with a JDM H22a thanks

The power steering pressure sensor does not throw a check engine light. You're not jumping the connector right if it is not flashing a code.

Keep in mind that a solid CEL means the ecu is f*cked, though I doubt thats your problem since it seems to be running ok otherwise.

One short blink means the o2 sensor is the fault.

i am jumping it correctly, the CEL comes on when i go around 50 mph, not when i start the car.

I tried jumping it with a wire and paper clip
This is exactly what i am doing, then i turn the key to "on" All lights turn on the dash and then turn off including the CEL
Is there a way i can test my service connector?

It sounds like knock sensor.

It happened to me, when I was driving at 50mph it threw a cel, and it was the knock sensor, its code 23
