Default ecu reset.... still blinded by light

on my 93 90cs, I have my check emmisions(or engine) light coming on after about 5 min of driving. When I come to my first real stop(only when im stopped) the light goes, on and stays on till i turn the car off, and it repeats. I reset my ecu, and nothing happened. Anybody else have/had this problem?? Could it be 02 sensor(s)??(im not dumping the codes, so please dont suggest that) I have 93k on my car. Or could it be the cats?? how much do either approximatly cost??

Default The light will continue to come on.........

as long as a fault exists!

You will need to get the DTC codes read to determine what is causing the light to come on!

"Resetting" the ECU wont make the problem go away
until the problem component is fixed or replaced.

Could be any of over 100 items!

Your going to have to get the DTC code! Sorry!

VAG-COM is the perfect solution for this.
