look for the little blue plug thats not plugged in, with only 2 wires going into it, jump it with a wire or paper clip, put the key in so the radio turns on, but dont start the car, then count the engine light as it flashes. The slower flashes are the first number, the second fast flashes are the second number. Post up the code after you find out what it is.

Did this just happen? A solid CEL is either an ECU or adapter harness problem, or if the ECU is chipped, it's chipped wrong or the chip has a major corruption problem..
