if your car is a 90-91(on the shifter there will be a key hole and words saying "shift lock release") then your ecu for the zc is problay a standard transmission ecu. if u r running auto trans you need a automatic ecu.
but if your car is a 88-89 i have no clue why it is locking.
if your car is a 90-91 try sticking a key down the "shift lock release"hole and try to drive it. good luck

when i did my auto to standard tranny swap, my car ran like crap with the auto ecu and manual tranny. it idled high and went up and down between 1200 and 2500 rpm, again if you are running a auto trans you need a zc automatic tranny ecu, it may be hard to find. then your shifter should unlock normally.

do you have a DOHC zc or single cam ZC?

Who did your wiring? could be you have a wire reversed I have seen this happen alot to people who don't wire in there harnesses correctly. The smoke could be due to the CPS code you are throwing. If you wired the harness in correctly you shouldn't have any check engine lights on.

what distributer are you using?

7 wire round plug?
5 wire square plug?

If you have a DOHC Zc engine and using Si round plug 7 wire you will need this adapter.
