Hi everyone my ECU took a dump on me and I'm trying to find a new one, I have a 95 GT Manual. I wanted to know if an Auto ECU will work if its a manual or do I need to find the manual one?

Yeah so I got the edu and swapped it, now the car won't turn over, it clicks once and that's it. I'm going to test the battery when the rain dies down

If a Battery Terminal is loose then when the ignition is turned ON everything while light up normal. However when the key is turned to START the car clicks then totally looses power.

Double check your wires at the distributor and the ECU. A loose connection can cause crazy electrical problems.

Verify that the Check Engine Light illuminates when the key is turned to ON. This means its getting power.

Verify that both ECUs are indeed identical, from vehicles with identical equipment and above all the Distributors are the same.

Have the battery tested. You can set it in a trashbag in the trunk of your car and have it Tested and Charged for free at an autoparts store.

Wire Brush the battery terminals and put some baking soda on the clamps.

My personal rule for battery clamp tightness is that with my thumb and forefinger I should not be able to twist the clamp loose.

Oh and always double check your grounds. tongue.gif
