I was wondering if it was possible to run a manual ECU on an auto. I found a deal on a car i want to buy but the ECU is missing and earlier today my brother took a friends EX ecu out there and said it wouldn't start it. Problem is his is a manual and the car is an auto.

Also is it possible i could limp the car back home on a 1996 GSR ecu?

 

nooot possible bro.

 

You can drive the car on a manual ecu you WILL have a cel light on, I don't know if its bad for the transmission, just put it home slowly with a manual ecu.

 

i believe that the Gsr ecu will flood the engine out. The only diff. between an auto and a manuel ecu is the resestior location.

 

Yes but the resistor controls something in the automatic transmission.

op with a little soldering skills this conversion can be done

 

its ok. i just wanted to limp the car home until i had something more permenant. but the guy found an ecu for the car so its all good now. thanks guys, ill keep the info for future reference.
