You need to tell us what the CEL is for us to help you better.

That will give you a general (in OBD-I form) code, to get the P codes you need to get it read with an OBD-II scanner, your local garage should have one, but if not, autozone/pep boys/advance auto will all run an OBD-II scan on your car for free, it takes only 5 minutes and the P code will be a lot more accurate than the OBD-I style code, though the OBD-I style code is more general, it's better than nothing.

did you get it off ebay?

if so, thats probably the problem haha.
and is it chipped for the corresponding motor?

 

I already have a OBDII scanner but when its hooked up, it shows error on my scanner, yes it is off ebay and i was worried some sh*t like this would happen. could it be my jumper harness? i told the guy my specs for my car 2. any other suggestions guys?????

alot of people on ebay just advertise for "skunk 2 chips", "mugen chips" blah blah blah, if you want you're car to run right, it needs to be basemapped to atleast a close match to your motor specs.

 

you cant chip an obd2 ecu correct? if not then how did you chip your obd2 ecu???
