Default Got CEL 15 WTF???

Curently my car has been giving me some cEL problems.

it idles irracdically and whenever i let off the gas the needle goes nuts! my car is a 1990 civic 4 door with a DOHC ZC and a T3 .60/.63 turbo. Fuel management is SAFC ( old school with ***** ) and a set of 390cc injectors.
Would this be caused by faulty wiring ( harness DPFI-MPFI) or distributor?

i Tach and my SAFC are both tapped on the same wire for the RPM signal ( would this cause it to FUBAR?) i can only imagine that this is somethign simple that i either havent looked at or just dont know about.

ANy help would be appreciated

Remove the tach and try it without.
I doubt that's the problem though since that's the tach wire and not the ignition wire.

I think you should be looking into a new ICM (Ignition Control Module - AKA Ignitor) for your distributor.
I think that's where troubleshooting your code 15 is going to lead you.

Has it always been doing this or is this something that jsut started happening?
Any mods JUST before this code appeared??

EDIT: krustindumm beat me to it!
