Default solid CEL but wont let me check? please help!

I have a 90 integra rs with a b18a1 i believe (its stock) and i'm getting a solid CEL only when the car is up to normal operating temperature. i tried to check to see what code it was giving but it wont throw a CEL unless the car has been running for a minute or so, so how do i check for the code? i cant just turn the key on with the jumper in because the CEL will not be on yet. another thing, if i shut my motor off and restart it while i'm doing 60 or so the light will not come back on until i slow down and my rpm's drop below 2500, as soon as i hit about 2500 rpm the light will pop back on. But if i keep the rpm's up the light will not come on, i'm frickin confused any help would be appreciated.

So i guess my question here is should i be able to check for the code without turning the motor off? or does anybody know what the hell could be wrong with it?

PS: i already replaced my o2 sensor, my number 4 spark plug does have a lil oil on it tho.

I've never had a problem like this before, so I may be wrong, but what I would do is jump the connector as soon as the CEL comes on, then turn your key back one click so it's in the ON position.
obdo you dont have to jump anything


the ecu flashes right way at the ecu.
