i've had my d16z6 converted to manual for about 8 months now, and for some odd reason my ecu dies on me while on a road trip. when i get it home and do some troubleshooting i've narrowed it down to replacing the ecu. ecu LOOKS to be in good condition, no fried/burnt components yet its dead

i'm considering replacing the ecu but i have the automatic engine harness still

should i stay automatic ecu then convert it to manual?

or can i swap in a manual ecu with the auto harness and not have any problems?

 

Bump.

 

I swapped a manual p28 into my del sol after doing a b16 swap and I have not had a problem with it. I kind of ghetto rigged it in the sense that the car is jumped in neutral, so instead of tearing out and replacing the wire harness, I use the auto one and the car just thinks it's in neutral so it runs fine as a manual.

 

reverse wires work as well? i know that the reverse wire switch can plug directly into the solenoid lockup from the auto harness, is that what you did? thanks alot for the reply too!

bump for some more insight

 

The auto wiring should have more wires but most will be un used.
