Before removing fuses etc, when you removed the FCD did you connect the wire back up for the map sensor signal? These ECU's will work from the go ahead, i never once had an issue with mine, even when i first fitted it. And yes A/T ecu will work just fine in a M/T equipped car. I know this from Trevor (if any of you lot know Trevor from N/I??) Phil you will know of him i presume?
