It is the ECU/ECM that turns on the CEL, if no codes are stored, I would assume there is nothing wrong other then the ECU/ECM not sending a proper signal to the CEL.

Is the CEL out when you are driving the car or engine is running?

You say it is running properly. "car starts and runs fine", What is the MM&Y of the car and is it auto or 5 speed? 94

it stays lite like normal when u first turn it on but if u leave it on the ON position it flashes 3 times fast and goes away other than that it doesnt come on...
