Default Stolen ECU...Please advise

Hi, new 2 the forum, but it looks good. My '93 Civic EX stick shift was broken into a while back.
they got the ECU & maybe more. I've got a couplequestions if someone can give me a push in the right direction to bring this car back to life.
1.)which ECU is right for the car & where can I get a new(or preferably used) one for a reasonable price? Since I didn't really take a good look @ the ECU before it walked away I don't have any info. or numbers off of it.

2.)Whoever took the ECU also took off the fuse box cover & left it laying on the floor. Is there anything of value in the fuse box that I might also be missing? Same as with the ECU...I didn't take a good look @ the fuse box before this happened either so I'm not sure what is, & what isn;t supposed to be there.

thanks in advance....

Best place is the scrap yard. They should give you one for a decent price.

You should find a car like yours at a used car dealer and take a look. You'll see what you're missing.

Thanks, I believe that the car has a 1.6liter engine. Do you know which ECU I should be looking for?

p28 ecu, is the harness still there?? If so it should be plug and play, unless they ripped some of the harness apart.

Thanks so much for the info. Yeah, I think that the harness is intact so I shouldn't have a problem there. The only thing now that I am wondering about(other than getting the ECU itself) is if they stole something out of the fuse panel. The door of it was taken off & thrown on the floor. I was hoping that someone in the forum maybe has a picture of the panel or a diagram of it so i can see if everything that is supposed to be there still is.

Did you need a pic of the panel? or is that what you needed?

The ECU is the p28. You are looking at ~ 100 bucks on e-bay.
