Default AUTO ECU in a MANUAL

Will a auto ecu from a 95 Integra LS, work in my 94 Intergra LS. My ecu got jacked, and I can get this one for $50. Is it worth it, or should I jest wait until a manual ecu comes around. Will using this ecu throw me a check engine light, and any possible problems you can think of would be great. ie a/f, redline, rev, etc. Also will a radiator from an auto work in my manual. They just jack the wierdest things. Thanks in advance.

I imagine the radiator would be fine.

The ECU would definitely not be a good idea as a long term solution. The software will be trying to control an automatic transmission that doesn't exist, which will likely confuse the hell out of the computer.

I thought Honda/Acura brains were pretty easy to find...you shouldn't have to wait that long to get the correct ECU.

Wait for a manual ECU unless you are really good with desoldering and resoldering. An auto ECU can be converted to a manual, but it's not easy.

I'd think you get CEL code 70, auto solenoid error.... since there is nothing connected to the automatic's solenoid
