Re: stick car with automatic ECU?
what do u mean by it doesnt wanna move?it doesnt shift or the motor doesnt even rev?i think it should run but it might just have a cel for a auto tranny code.

Re: stick car with automatic ECU?
You should get a manual ECU, good to see a guy has one! I've heard that using an auto ECU will only make it idle high and throw a CEL, but it's most likely in limp mode as andoxviii has said. Your best bet is to purchase a standard ECU and go from there.

Re: stick car with automatic ECU?
In any case having an automatic ECU will not cause the vehicle to not move. Thats an axle/clutch/transmission problem. The easiest thing to check is that axles are seated properly in the transmission. When you put it in gear and let the clutch out does the speedometer move? If so its most likely an axle issue, if not its more likely a clutch or transmission isssue. You can very easily convert a manual USDM OBD1 automatic ECU to a manual btw, as shown in the picture below.

Its just a piece of wire (usually for something like this you cut the leg of a resistor or use a piece of 22 gauge solid telephone wire) that connects one point to another on the board

No, you want to remove both resistors (RP17 and RP18) and the connect the 2 solder points on the board where RP18 went with a small piece of wire. Basically replace the RP18 resistor with a solid piece of wire, for RP17 simply remove the resistor.

To get the axle all the way in takes a quick jabbing motion to get the retaining ring to seat. The jumper is a short conductive lead used to bridge a circuit. You need to remove the resistors in positions RP17 & RP18 and replacing RP18 with a wire jumper.
