Default Need Help CEL 16

My car wont stay on when the engine check light comes on. I checked the code and it was CEL 16... the car will stay on and drive and then sputters when the engine check light comes on. Then the car would crank but not hold idle. And when it does hold idle the car is in limp mode and will can only rev to 3500 rpm.. Where should i start with this? oh btw its an 88 civic hatch with a JDM b20 swap.. the car has been coverted to obd1 dash harness connected an obd2 engine harness
