Default 93 LS 400 CEL that won't flash

I have a 1993 LS 400 with a CEL on. I tried using my jumper wire from E1 to Te1, have car in neutral, battery voltage is 12.26. Still I get no flashing CEL. I 've used the port under the hood and under D/S dash, still nothing.

I rev the car up to about 2000 rpm's and the engine cuts out like you are turning the key off for a split second. At the same time the CEL blinks off for that split second also.

I wonder if the ECU is going bad? Picked up a used one out of a 1991 dosen't have the right plug ins. It has to be 93-94. If anyone has one for sale reasonable and that works please let me know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Gator3.

Puredrifter the bulb works because it stays on. When I try to pull codes it just stays on with no blinking.
Take the wire out from diag port and start car and the CEL stays on while running.
Does this help any? Thanks for quick reply, Gator3.
