right on my vtr mk2 the ecu light came on a while back, error code p0420 catilyst effiency below threshold was the fault. It also juddered when in low revs when driving So i replaced top lamda sensor then ereased code. Now it back on again! Cat seems fine. Also my fan comes on when turn ignition off most times for around 5minutes.

check for leaks on the joints of the down pipe as the lamda sensor needs suficient presure to work correctly an air leake would course loss of presure an give a faulse reading making the ecu think the cat aint working ..... possibly lol just pure speculation without seeing the car tho
