Id be more willing to try other things first before the ECU.

Yeah I'm going to the worst case is that I replaced it all and it was the ecu then it's been replaced lol

You can really hear it in this vid

I don't know anything about the auto/manual conversion, so might very well be asking some stupid questions here, but just thinking a bit more here...

Have you used the auto ECU?
Does the auto have a kick down switch?
Does this feed into the engine ECU?
If yes to all the above, have you refitted the kick down switch so it operates correctly?

The auto ECU needs a bit of internal work to work as a manual, so if your still using that.......

Didnt think of that!

I followed the auto - manual conversion guide and also did the ecu mod to get rid of the CEL light

Moving the resistor this is all I can find on this and that's all people seam to do ecu wise

Is the kick down switch on the auto box or on the shifter itself?

There isn't a kick down switch, least not on my 4th gen.

To convert to manual I removed the separate auto ECM, converted the P13 ECU as directed on PGMFI.org and swapped all the mechanical bits.

There are 2 different instructions for converting ECU's depending on the code.

I followed the 5th gen ecu conversion guide moving the resistor and the worked a treat .

But I never managed to give it a test when the cel light was on before I did the ecu mod

It's looking like an ecu fault.

So exactly what ecu should I get and what will I need?

P28 chipped ecu and jumper wire?

It will i need to change parts to obd1 like the dizzy
