check engine light!

b16a in a 97 dx hatch. Right now im running an obd1 P72 with a jumper harness.
My problem is that my check engine light does not turn on untill i reach exactly 50mph. Could there be something wrong with my jumper harness?or the computer. Its never happened before

do you think it might affect my car if i continue driving it like that. The car does not seem to have any problems but then again i could be wrong.
