Seriously you should go get yourself a job at a depression clinic. No c**t could be depressed with you around, they'd be too busy pissing themselves laughing :lol:

You are always in too much of a rush, slow down a bit and think about what your going to do.
Write a plan for the day with the help of the workshop manual
, then you have something to follow-check off.

:lol: Yes I agree, just hope though that he doesn't kill himself in the process.

Toby, it is great that you're having a go at this yourself, but quite seriously, if you mess some of this sh*t up, you could very easily end up in an accident, that could very easily end up killing you or someone else.

If you don't know what you're doing (and in your case you've got no f**king idea :lol: ), sorry, had to throw that last one in :lol: ;

READ THE MANUAL / READ THE MANUAL / How many times do I have to say READ THE f**king MANUAL! :lol:

I had to pay $9 to view someone's guide on a manual conversion.( Ben happens to have it, it's not on this site)
As helpful as it is, it's very basic. All the questions I have, the guide obviously doesn't answer, which is why I'm here. In the help section :lol:

Do I put in the manual ecu or keep the auto one?
I realise the obvious answer is probably manual. But the guide says absolutely nothing about swapping computers..

Leave the auto one in & make sure you do the wiring on the plug as per the guide. Otherwise you wont get it to start.

had to remove the auto one to fit the linkages through the wall.
so put it back in and do the reverse switch wiring etc? start it.
then swap to the manual one?
