i have a d16z6 that im installing in my crx and this is the last item on my list. let me know what you guys have. does it matter if the ecu is for a manual or auto?
 
i dont think it makes a difference. you will just blink a code for the auto lockup solenoid i do believe. i have one in mine but its throwing a code because no vtec pressure because i dont have the vtec head on it lol
 
nm, sorry guys, bought one for $30 straight out of a del slow manual. but i still do need other stuff. does anyone have the harness i need for my motor? d16z6 obd1

Try putting an automatic p28 on a car that has a manual transaxle... A CEL is the least of your problems. The engine won't rev past 4k. It does matter. Make sure you get a p28 from a manual civic.

LMFAO! BOOYAH! That is SOOOOO TRUE! And forgive me man, but I can't remember your name for the life of me, LS. Was it David or Michael? haha Sorry about that.

Anywho, this happened to me yesterday! haha! I had been waiting for around two months (yes, I have a lot of patience) to have my mechanic install my chipped P28. Well, when he installed it, he took it for a ride with another guy and all I heard was it getting stuck, as they went down the street. They came back, looked at me and started to talk. I raised my finger and asked "Did it get stuck at 4,000 rpm?" They both looked at me as if I had been in the car with them. haha It was GREAT! Then they asked how I knew. I told them that I have sonic ears and could hear them going down the road...that and I actually read about that problem on here and that my guess was that it's an automic P28. They laughed, then the guy I bought the P28 from showed up with a different chip. I let him try it, even though I figured I had been given the wrong ECU. Case and point, my ECU is being changed out for a manual and will be back to me tomorrow. The guy thought I was going to be mad and I just laughed. Anywho, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

On a side note, the guy that came over took his chipped P28 which had the same program burnt on it, took it for a ride and said my car screamed. Now THAT really made me smile. haha :D

The moral of the story is, get the right freakin' ECU the first time.
