You probably have an Auto ECU as the auto 92-93 Integras had an EGR valve



http://www.hondata.com/techecuid.html

All Honda ECUs have a part number which is located on the side of the ECU and inside the ECU on the connector. e.g. 37820-P72-A01

The part number consists of three components:

* Honda's part number for ECU, which is always 37820
* Three characters (which are loosely related to the model of car/engine). e.g P72
* Three characters (which are the revision of the ECU) e.g. A01 or G52

The middle three characters are the most useful to identify what the ECU is. Different generation ECUs may use the same characters. e.g. a P72 OBD I ECU is different from a P72 OBD II ECU. Here is a list of common ECUs:

The last 3 characters are broken down into 3 parts. "A" generally is used for US ECUs. "G" is European, and "J" is Japanese. There are other versions of this, but you get the idea. The second digit "0" typically means manual transmission, where a "5" means automatic transmission, and the last digit "1" is the version number.

They did yeah, but they used an OBD1 PR4 not a P75

Depends, if someone removed RP17 and RP18 and then replaced RP18 with a jumper wire you wouldn't get an AT codes. If it truly is throwing an EG-R code the ECU may be bad.

Try a different ecu and see if it still comes up. I'm guessing its ecu related. Open the ecu up and see if you see anything burned.
