Default 1991 Honda civic hatch ecu light blinks 12 times

Hey all, new car owner also new to working on engines. I’m inexperienced but here’s everything going on with my vehicle.

things to know
​​​​​​-200k miles on engine block and body 100k on transmission
- Dual point PGM-FI programmed fuel injection
-automatic
-shifts Nicely (besides first and second)
-had the engine rebuilt
-added cold air intake (original was destroyed)
-changed the plugs oil…ect
-ac stopped working a while ago
-just fixed transmissions solenoid wiring, + o2 sensor wiring
-cleaned map sensor with electrical contact cleaner
-ecu blinks 12 times consecutively.

While driving from 20mph to about 30mph the engine will shake as if it’s missing a motor mount (it’s not) and shift horribly, after I get over that speed it can handle 35-40-50-90mph smoothly with no issues.

I’m trying to figure out what I can do to get rid of the code the ecu is blinking to see if that fixes my cars issues.

this is the diagram I was using but I don’t know if it’s correct for my car

it Says number 1 primary fuel injector but I simply don’t know how to go about this issue where should I start.

I also don’t know the location of the fuel injector they aren’t on a fuel rail like other cars I’ve worked on




Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

edit forgot to mention my gas tank lid release’s pressure when I take it off so something may be going on with my evap too
