I bought a P2P ECU from a 98 a/t for my mini me swap, but now I realize that in theory I should have gotten 99-00(obd2b)

BUT the ECU I bought is labeled 98 p2p but it doesnt look like either obd2a or obd2b. It has pins for all 4 plugs, and on the inside there are wires going to all of the plugs as you can see.

Anyone know if i can just plug my 00 y7 harness into this strange 98 y8 ecu and have it work?




reference:

 

plug it up and see if it works lol, its a obd2b ecu

 

if the only diff between y8 and y7 is vtec, I could test it on my y7 before i swap and it should start up and run ok if the ecu is the correct one, right?

 

yea it should run your car just have a cel on.

 

i guess not, the ecu started smoking when i tried starting the car

 

wierd, heres one on ebay (the right one) for 35 bucks

I think automatic OBD2 ECUs use all 4 plugs

 

oh, ok that explains it. I ordered one from a 99 A/T on ebay, hopefully the other one isnt ruined so i can resell it.
