Here is the thing, i don't speak ghetto. I can only understand about half of you post, even then i'm confused. So rewrite your post in english that i can understand. Also what is the year, trim, and engine of your car? Coupe, Hatch, or Sedan?

Much better on the writing, but you might have noticed i asked what year, not what OBD.

Call me crazy, but could you be, in fact, pulling a code 2 AND a code 3, and not necessarily pulling a 23?

Are you getting 2 long flashes, pause, 3 short flashes, or are you getting 2 short flashes, pause, 3 short flashes??

What year is the engine and what was the original car? I have to look up engines by car.
