I have a 91 ls ecu I can sell you.

 

[craigmp]

it is from a manual isn't it?? and i am under the understanding that they are the same in the 90,91's

anyone please comment if they see an error.

Yes, its out of a 91 LS that is manual. They are both Obd0, so it should work just fine.

wait... why wouldn't it?

You'd get a check engine light for the torque converter not being there, but it should still run the engine.

i can handle a check engine light as long as it is running right. i can get auto ecms around here all day for under fifty $

ACTUALLY, I think the answer is yes. The ECU wont be happy (might get a CEL) but it will run just fine.

We did this on a z6 swap in my brothers civic. It ran, but rotton dog shit.
