Hes just trying to sell. The ECU needs to be replaced with one that is programmed for a vtec manual lude, then it will work

Actually you <U>can</U> use an auto Obd1 p13 from an automatic ina manual and it will work and not give a CEL. I belive the fuel curve is slightly differnt but to answer your question it <U>will</U> run a manual.
