Default automatic ecu with a 5spd 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??

i doubt it. auto ecu wouldn't affect idle, it just affects driveability

I belive your idle is going up and down. The reason for this is that the auto ecu idle is set at a higher rpm, basically for the trans. This will affect your idle and also performance. There is a way to fix this problem with your idle. Go to http://www.hondata.com and it will show you how to convert auto ecu to manual. It should be in the installation guide for the s200. You should be able to fix your problem easily. Good luck!
