[QUOTE="snchin, post: 211578, member: 249"] should be the same An auto car has actually 2 modules/control units. One for the engine (ECU) and one for the transmission (TCU). [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit[/URL] I am quite certain now that the ECU, controlling the timing, ignition maps and what have you's are the same for both auto and manual for a few reasons. 1. The parts numbers are the same :-) 2. The TCU works hand in hand with the ECU for an auto car. In a manual car, you only need the ECU. You/the driver are now controlling the gearbox. 3. Manual car, running on ex-auto car's ecu has almost ideal air fuel ratio. Variance is due to wear and tear items, or just a dying O2 sensor. [/QUOTE]
