I did. Thanks alot!racer12306 wrote:that would be a good idea, less crap to deal with.

Actually now that I've been thinking about this ECU swap thing, we've established that a 5-speed ECU won't work with an automatic car. Will the automatic ECU work with a manual?

i would think so, but you might get a code.
a friend of ours, cliff sebring, had a ef/sa sundance with the 3.0 and the 3 speed auto. he tried every little thing to make it quicker without cracking open the engine. including using a manual trans ecu, it worked, but it didnt help.
i know those computers were a little different and the trans was completely hydraulic so that is why a 5 speed ecu worked with the auto. but in this case i dont see why you couldnt put a auto ecu in a 5 speed car.

Wait, you know Cliff personally?? He is one sick fuck. I've seen some of his projects.

The newer ATX's are electronically controlled. So if you use a newer ATX pcm in a MTX car you will get a check engine light for no transmission signal found.
My lil brother did a MTX swap into his 96 stratus and he had to find a MTX pcm to control his 2.4. The check engine light was on for no transmission signal......he eventually found a MTX pcm to control his stratus, go figure its from a 2.0 DOHC neon

From what I have heard this will not work. The NGC equipped cars have a different crank posistion sensor wheel. So the earlier model ECU's will not be able to properly interpret the signal.invujerry wrote:I really would like to see if its possible to get an earlier 2gn computer to run an NGC car. I know its "possible" but I'd like to make a certain adapter to run an early 2gn comp...so then we can run AFX-r's.
