Pulling engine codes and other stuff

A little history.

I have a black RX7 - i bought it as a non runner, rebuilt it - when it started, it started on 1 rotor. Found no ignition on front rotor - plugs were clean.

Swapped the coils out, spark plugs etc, same problem. Swapped injectors from front to rear - now no ignition on rear rotor.

Thought great. Car wouldnt start after a while after that, but idid confirm ignition in front rotor.

swapped injectors - car now wont start, the bloody thing.

Anyway, went to pull engine codes, jumped TEN and GND - key on, no engine check light. Unplugged air pump, did it again - no engine check light?!

i also tried to pul codes on my fully working car once, and got no check light either.

Both cars are jap imports

what am i doing wrong?!

You may not have a CEL on the dash. Most JDM versions did not have the light on the dash (I'm assuming that's where you are looking for the codes).
