Default 97 civic auto to 5spd wont start with 5spd ECU

it'll start with the automatic ecu but just cranks when i plug in the 5spd ECU.

What could be the problem? any opinions and suggestions greatly appreciated.


ThankX

What does it do when you plug in the 5spd?

If you went obd2a to obd2b then you're gonna have to get an a to b or b to a conversion harness.

Example:

If you're running a D16y7 from a 1997 civic (non vtec) and a D16y8 motor from a 1999 civic (sohc vtec) then you are going to need a conversion harness to make a 1999 civic d16y8 ecu work perfectly -- or just get a 97 5 speed d16y8 ecu.

1999 is OBD2b
1996-1998 is OBD2a
