Ok i just got this car as is. Its a 95 esi manual. Its shooting codes.
P1487
P1698
P1899
P0500 vss issue
I know that the ecu is from an auto.. Not sure of the year? The speedo doesnt work. No visual issues with wires or stuff. Im assuming its the vss on this.
I have been reading around in here but i havent found the answer to some of my questions.
1 the vss is that the sensor or the wrong ecu in the car?
2 reading about having it flashed.. Can it be flashed to not shoot these codes?
3 would it be worth just finding a manual one instead?
4 its running fine but its rich..is that due to the wrong ecu?
5 would the ecu be causing the vss to not be seen and stopping the speedo from working?
Thanks for helping with this. Right now im just trying to make this one right then my plan is to get a tsi and doing a build on it. Nothing fansy with this one. Just a clean tune for gas mileage.

. Btw, i ran a 98 auto ecu in place of a manual ecu: no difference iirc.
