Default check engine light

What's up everyone
I have a 97 ex coupe and had the engine light come on recently...I just put in a new engine/tranny/clutch combo and the car is stock for the time being. I believe this could be the O2 sensors(88k miles on the car) The car bucks when it's not underload at 2k rpms and below. Partial throttle the car is fine. Or if someone could tell me how to pull the code off of this obdII crap that would work too. Please give me your insights on my current situation.

Thanks in advance

Carey Howard

Honestly when I used to reset the light it would take a little while to come on. However now when I reset the light, the light comes on immediately.

If someone could tell me how to pull the code off this car I'd appreciate it.

I'd like some input too, mine has been doing the same thing for the last year and a half. Damn honda keep on saying it's the O2 sensor, but I already had it replaced like 3 times.
