Default b16 crx obd1 limp mode probs

ok so i got a 90 crx si with built b16a turbo and i converted to obd1 and im stuck in limp mode. replaced numerous things including: iat, map, tps, coolant temp sensor, dizzy. niether of which fixed it. timing is dead on also. now what i need to know is how to pull the codes. ive searched and onnly found stuff for the eg and how u do it via the service connector. how would i go about doing it straight from the jumper harness? like what pins do i jump to pull the codes? much help needed as i am lost with this project now and thanks in advance

If you have a conversion harness the wires usually come off that yellow and black or orange and blue. you wire them together and your light will flash

and if anyone is wanting to know the symptoms, its very hard to get started. alot of cranking and once started runs really well just dont go over 3500rpm. but once warmed up its easier to start. but still dont start like it should. if i use ether after not started for a few days itll fire right up. used a noid light on injector plugs and also not like it should be. takes a few cranks before it starts gettin pulse

I cant remember what wires are for the check engine they are different on different brands of harnesses. To me it sounds like you have the map sensor and tps wires backwards.

i went to the garage and went to pull the codes and it crossed my mind i took the cel bulb out about 4 years ago cuz it was annoying the **** out me so i either gotta put it back in or just tie in a led for a cel. prolly go the led route cuz dont feel like pullin the cluster back out lol but no i havnt pulled the codes yet.
