alright, so I took my 1997 s14 kouki to get smogged today, but I failed because the "service engine soon/ check engine light" wouldnt turn on when the key was in the "on" position. I replaced the bulb and that did nothing. The car was originally an automatic and was 5 speed swapped and still has the auto ecu if that means anything. I'm not sure what else to say. Any advice on what it could be would be appreciated.

Thanks !
