Default auto ecu on a manual car

what will this do? i found out that my b16 ecu is a automatic and my car is 5 spd...
i get no codes besides knock(not hooked up) also i am trying to figure out my erratic idle, think this might be the problem??

it will run fine as an auto ecu, you will just will have about a 7500 rpm fuel cut off though...

I believe on http://www.pgmfi.org there are directions on how to change an auto ECU to manual.

My pr3 ecu was an auto, but it got changed to manual by the previous owner. Sold it to a friend with an ls/vtec and it runs fine up to 8k.

same problem, (auto pr3 with a manuel) does the auto pr3 have weaker timing and fuel maps or is the only difference the fuel cutoff?

my idle is fine, I did notice the 7500 fuel cut though. So is that the only difference, or am I missing out on some performance also???
