I did a minime swap on a 91civic DX and I got an automatic ECU with the swap do I need a different ecu for my car to run. Thanks. BTW my car is a 5 speed

 

you can run it with the auto ecu, it'll throw a code for "lock solenoid" or something like that....but it will run.

 

i dont know if that 100% true, i have a 4speed std and i wanted to put a pm5 in it instead of the shitty pm9 later to find out it was from an auto it flashed the lock up slanoid and would not start

 

It will run, but it will run like ****. At least, that's the way it is with '92+ Civics . . .

If you need to use the car, the auto ECU is fine, but in the meanwhile look for a manual ECU.

 

it runs fine, just thows a CEL.. ran with one for a couple weeks

 

^^^^yep.. i ran an auto PG7 with my d16z6 for almost a year, just throws a check engine light all the time, but runs fine

 

Well, I think it depends WHICH auto ECU you got. It will run on an Integra auto and you will have a check engine light. It will NOT run on a 88~91 Dx/Lx auto ECU.

Why?

The ECU only supports 2 injectors. Your mini-me swap now includes 4 injectors.

 

yo 91civicDXdude when it threw a CEL were u flashing any codes?...cause i got a b16a with a pr3 ecu..there is no code flashing but my CEL is on..is that why?...having a auto ecu?..

 

Ok I have a a sohc vtec swap with the ECU that came out of the Delsol. The Delsol was an automatic. So I'm not sure I think my 91 is OBD0 and teh delsol is obd1. Oh well we'll find out.

 

get in touch with me ASAP
