Question about auto to manual converion
Yes I've used the search button, I've scoured the threads and haven't found the answer to my specific question.
Little bit of background info, the car is a 1995 240, but has obd2. I'm a california resident and legally pass smog (would like to keep it that way). So I'm currently in the process of doing a conversion to manual on my 240sx, and I'm wanting to use the auto ecu (for now at least). Now I know that doing this will throw codes for obd2. My question is, when they go to do the non obd-2 test (since it's only required on vehicls 96 and up) will the codes from using an auto ecu still come up since they're doing an obd1 test and not obd2? Will the vehicle fail? |

Is there a way to make the check engine light not come on? And even if there is will it still fail? Also, as far as swapping a manual ecu in, http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/wolfpdf/ECU-ID.PDF if you look at the 95 ECU's for manuals, it says they're all obd2, wondering if that's true? Would really hate to buy an obd1 ecu for an obd2 D:

OP: IIRC 95's before a certain date are obd1 and the rest are obd2.

OP, find out whether your car is OBD2 or not and go from there. http://zilvia.net/f/s-chassis/342641...2-engines.html ^Also, make sure you've read up on that. |

Since I'm doing a conversion to manual I can't just read my current ecu serial, maybe someone who has a 1995 s14 that came manual stock AND obd2 can tell me their ecu serial? |

Because they usually turn the key to accessories and check all the dash lights to make sure everything is good, specially the check engine light bulb. Just get a manual ECU...

I just had it smogged about a month ago so I do have 2 years until I have to smog it, but I still don't want an engine light flashing, so I want to get the correct ecu in there over the next few months.
