Hello,
My gf acquired a 92 Accord DX. It ended up with a submerged ECU due to a leaky sunroof and won't start, so we're going to try replacing the ECU. Got it out today and the part # is 37820-PT3-L04.
Now, she has looked on Ebay and found a number of ECUs with the first two sections of the part # the same but the final three #s different, as in 37820-PT3-A55 (for example). These all seem to be for an automatic transmission, and are all cheaper. The ones with the exact same #s are all more expensive. Online research has turned up some people insisting that it's ok to put the ECU from an auto into a manual car, and others insisting that you can't because the check engine light will come on and/or it won't run well.
Can anyone here give a definitive answer to this question?
