Stolen ECU problem!

Stolen ECU problem!
Hi I recently had my ECU stolen out of my 95 Civic EX. I figured out my engine type and the part number of the ECU type I needed. Found a used one and plugged it in. The car starts but the check engine light is on all the time now. Do I just need to reset the ECU by unhooking the negative battery cable or could this be more serious? It seems like the engine is idling up and down more slightly as well maybe?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks. This has been a real pain in the but figuring out how to replace this. The part number was the one the dealer gave me and it supposed to be right.
What does P28 represent?
What will happen if I continue to drive with this ECU in place?

Retrieve the CEL trouble code (see link in my signature), look up the code, and then clear the ECU. Post codes for more feedback.

Hey, found out the part they sent me was for a automatic 95 DX! I need to drive out to town 2 hours this weekend but I'm kinda freaked out about it now. What do you guys think will happen if I drive with this other ecu?

Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to skip the roadtrip and just play it safe. I've been told the correct part will be arriving Tuesday.
When I get the correct one do I need to reset it by removing the negative battery cable?
