Default CEL with chipped ECU?

Whats up guys.. I just bought a chipped P28 with supposedly a Mugen program. I was wondering if it is normal to throw a code with a chipped ECU? I havent had time to check the code but I will tonight. My car never threw a code before with the P72. Please let me know.
Thanks alot
Gerry

reset the ecu...and start it let it idles...if the light stays on, then it means that the error is serious, badly chipped ecu or damaged ecu, (check if the chip is in properly, if all is good also it can me usually, wrongly matched ecu...

Ok, I'll try that
The car runs fine but the CEL comes on after I've been driving for 2 or 3 minutes for no apparent reason
