Well that's a nice birthday present!

Catalytic converter, oil pump, VSS, IACV..?

@NafemanNathan, can you pull codes on 3G's like you can with 4G's?

I've not had to do it on my 3rd gen lude, but I did on my old 3rd gen Accord which was OBD0. The connector was in the same place as in a 4th gen lude, so it seems to be a favourite location for Honda to put the data connector (Behind the centre console under the dash, passenger side), so the 3rd gen lude's might be there to.

If not, follow this guy's method. The codes are there too...

Its been like that since I bought it

its all fine with driving though. Also my Speedo doesnt work and miles doesn't roll. Thats why I have S4 flashing that caused of a speed sensor I guess. Can it be that both lights caused of the speed sensor alone?

Probably Vehicle Speed Sensor then innit?

That causes engine management light I believe...

Have you tried resetting the ECU? (Disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds) and seeing if it comes back? Obviously won't fix your speedo, but will get rid of the CEL, which might not come back.

Before you do that though, take off the CEL code to see what it is/was.
