Hey guys, I was wondering if anbody can help me out.
Long story short, a year ago I done an auto to 5 spd swap.
Car worked fine all this time. Then 1 day my key got stuck.
After searching, I found this link

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=108054

So I removed the cable and my CEL is on.
Code is 103=Park/Neutral switch
I reattached cable, reset ECU, but CEL is still on....

Any ideas???
Please help
Thanks!

can you get your key out? if so i dunno if i would get worked up over a CEL. aslong as the car runs fine id be alright. but to answere your qustion check your wiren read some therads about the swap and look at your wiring compared to yours.

Is it still the auto ecu? Maybe the CEL is on because the auto ecu detects that cable is gone, so it registers that its out. Thats the only think I can think of, sorry if that doesn't help.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies,
The wiring is all correct. ECU is for 5spd. Swapped was done over a year ago, everything was fine, until now that key started geting stuck.
As soon as I removed cable, key was able to be removed.
Then CEL came one.

I don't see how removing the cable would trip the CEL, it's not electrical. The neutral switch code would come up if it was not wired in when the swap was done or if you're using an auto ECU, since the switch is different between transmissions.
