I just swapped my d16y7 to a d16y8 but i bought the motor and it had an automatic ecu, will the ecu read my manual tranny?

 

you NEED a manual ecu.

 

I thought that you could use the auto ecu with no troubles it will just throw a CEL over the auto shift solenoid not being there?

It will throw a code but also drive all shitty and the idle will be all screwed up. At least when I tried.

 

I'd been wondering about that. hehe. Now I know. Thx for the info scoundrel.

 

OBD1 ecus can be converted easily, Iono about obd2, but get a manual ecu in any case.

 

wat ecu is it? for wat engine?

 

d16y7 - P2E
d16y8 - P2P

Which ECU you have to buy is depending on the year of your car. (OBD2a/OBD2b)

and like SkoundrelUSA said... the auto trans ECU will throw a CEL and will not run right.

If you really want to fool it into thinking the auto trans is there you might be able to but picking up a manual trans ECU would be a ton easier.

 

Reasons why you can NOT use auto obd2 ecus for manual cars.

1. Auto is for auto cars (duh)
2. Auto ecu runs 3 wire IAC while manual runs 2wire (aka very bad idle)
3. Auto ecu looks for the auto solinoids (sp?)
4. Because i said so ::shrugs::
