the only ways to prove it are.
1: scan tool, from rhinoman. wins top of list awards for best ever try.
2: CEL glows, running or has DTC's stored (not yours, it passes this test)
3: The ECU is lost. The ECU can get lost if it don't now what to do, to get Fueling right. It will show Closed loop dead, and LTFT and STFT parameters (called PIDS today) are DEAD (lifeless)
4: low fuel mileage, (15 is very low) due to 02 sensor dead, if the o2 is dead, the ECU is lost. and there are ways to prove, this.
5: RPM cap (no)
6: retarded timing, the strobe light fails to go past 40 degrees. racing in neutral, (neutral is zero load and advance is most extreme, no load and is best test for this)
7: top cause of getting lost are, too high fuel pressure, or exhaust air leaks near oxy sensor or bad oxy sensor. , or a very weak or very dirty MAF or ECT not hitting 300 ohms hot.
this is the 16valve right> G16B with 4 injectors ,right?
on 16v any of the 16 injectors leaking or clogged , fully or in part will make the ECU get lost.
it is very hard to work blind, no scan tool, lots of hard work.
