NO it will not plug n' play.
You will need an OBD1 to OBD2a/b jumper harness in order to plug the ecu into a 92 civic. (i sell these btw).

But it shouldn't matter which ECU you have, the car should start regardless (if the non-CTR ecu was working before)

 

im gonna take another p28 with out a chip and with a hondata and reprogram and tune on a laptopn on sunday hope this does it. the problem im haveing is i have a mugen chip and was told they run really rich on the fuel side which i dont know why but maybe this is why the cars not starting in cold weather?

I know this my sound dumb, but it can happen.
You say the car will not start in cold weather -try to bring the ECU inside your house one night, keep it warm, then take it out to the car on a cold morning and see if it will start.
Reason: cold solder joints. This maybe from a bad soldering job, or just sometimes there is a cold solder joint on the ecu board, that when it is cold, it will not make a connection. I have an ECU do it to me before, and I found out by luck that it would work if I brought it inside with me. After figuring it out, I spent about 2 hours looking for the cold joint, found it, repaired it, then it was good from there.

 

turns out yes computer was bad. as well as map sensor but no code hondata new com runs amazing
