Default ENGINE LIGHT ON PLEASE HELP

I have a 93 del sol with a b16a2 I have tried jumping the service check connector to diagnose the problem but it shows there is nothing wrong, after a few minutes of driving it (CEL)pops back on, funny thing is that everytime i turn the car off it goes away as tho i have reset it (on my other honda car if there is a CEL it remains on). I'm trying to pass emission/smog but I cant with this CEL.

currently running a P30 ECU, I was told it might be the knock sensor?

PLEASE HELP

I heard their is a way you can wire to fix the problem also, so I was actually thinking of doing that, because Im trying to sale the car after I pass emissions...so not really trying to spend more money on the car...
