I have a 93 2.0 Eclipse 5 speed N/A I'm looking for a replacement ECU. Basicly I'm wondering what ECU will work with my car.

Can I pull a 1990 ECU? I know some stuff from 1990 was different.

Will a ECU from a 91-94 2.0 automatic trans work on my 5-speed?
 
From what I've read when it comes to 1g DSM, you have to have basically the same year and drivetrain style. Because of how the 1g auto and manual cycle differently gear and timing wise. Also the turbo ECU will have a different fuel and timing maps vs n/a you would think.

I would just find one on here. Check classifieds I'm sure you could get one cheap.
 
Any 91-94 N/A ECU would work manual or automatic. All turbo ECU's wont work for your non turbo. A non turbo 90 would work but mods have to be done to get it to fully work properly. Not to mention any 90 ECU is hard to find. I would look for any N/T 91-94 ECU first.
 
Ok part# md166255 fits:
91-93 w/o turbo federal-canada not trans specfic
94 w/o turbo canada not trans specific
since it wasn't trans specific on that number it doesn't matter which trans you have.
 
I just checked and I have 2 of that part number computer. I will sell just pm me if you are interested.
 
Well I just checked the resistance on my brand new ISC motor and it tests 10 ohms higher then stock but all coils at the same resistance. Gonna put in this 1990 ECU I got and see if the ISC motor moves this time. (opened up both original and 1990 ECU both don't have any burn marks)

But yeah send me a PM

Put in a 1990 2.0 non turbo manual ECU and the ISC motor actually moves in and out now with key cycling!.
