Default check engine light PLEASE HELP

So here goes, my car is DPFI and it is running extremely rich, which i hear is hard to do with a DPFI motor. Well i had no check engine light on and i took it to honda and they said they couldnt do anythign since there was no check engine light and it is obd0 so they have no machine to hook it upto. They just told me it was probably the water(coolant) temperature sensor taht screws into the motor directly below the distributor. So i buy the part taht i need, and i replace it, now i have a check engine light on, anyone have any insight to whats wrong? any idea on how to check what code its throwing at me?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
eric

first things first, do you know where the ecu is at? if not its on the passanger side under the glove compartment under the carpeting under this big metal thing. When you see the big metal thing then see if you can find a little window on it that is throwing red dots. count how many flashes its throwing? if there is a pause when you are counting that means that it is the end of the code. let us know how many you get, then we will go from there.
