Checking if your check engine light works is very simple. Disconnect the O2 sensor and start the car, within 1 minute the light should work.
How you see if it goes into closed loop (from open loop) you can feel and see the engine running smoother and better.

The clicking while jumping is normal, and will do it until you pull the jumper wire. Have you checked to see if the Check Engine light bulb is still in place? You cannot pull codes without it, unless you can find an old code reader that can pull the codes from that particular computer. I'd start with just checking to see if there is a [good] bulb in the center instrument cluster. It is on the left side, lower "square" indicator, just left of the water temp gauge, below the seatbelt warning indicator.

thanks i was concerned about the clicking. i did just remove the radio consol to check bulbs. they look good. so do fuses. the check engine and the seat belt light does not lite. i dont think the fuel light was liting up now that i think of it there was very little fuel in it.
