What are those lovely solenoids mounted next to my ignitor chip? I'm going to go out on a limb and say vaccum control solenoids for emissions/cruise control.

Anywho know for sure?

Looks like I got an automatic ECU.. :ghey: I'm told it works just fine with a 5 speed...can anyone confirm?

That is trans fluid in that pan...pretty gross looking eh?

I'm going to be filling it up with Redline MT-90.

For the rest of the pics, go to...

Enjoy!

No cruise on SRs from the factory. Those are boost cut solenoid parts. They limit boost to ~10psi (if it spikes or if you use a boost controller). You don't need them.

I had a strange feeling it was a boost cut solenoid...

I guess now I know. Time to yank them off and toss them in the trash!

I know this thread has been dead for a while but I found it while searching. i have the same assembly with my ignitor chip, but mine is already wired / plugged up to the harness (with connectors of course). should I just unplug those and take those off that whole bracket?

Yeah, I just took all that crap off and left the plugs hanging. You don't need to worry about that stuff.

was that an automatic ECU? did it work with the 5 spd? that oil looks just like what poured out of my ka24, the engine was coated in mud and slime, so i'm guessing it was in a flood or something of that sort

The auto ECU WILL WORK WITH 5 SPEED! I'm running it right now. Starting is a little rough but its fine other then that.

riot · 03-11-2004, 02:44 PM

I've been running for about two weeks now and haven't had any problems with this ECU.

wait, the auto ecu might be causing my hard start... wtf.... i never thought to check that. can anyone confirm that an auto ecu will make starting odd? as in takes a few turns to fire?
