i wana convert a obd1 ecu to control the lockup on the trany. A19 is what i need (right svoboy?) so my queston is what do i need to do internaly to the ecu. i herd u can switch w/o loading a new rom, is this true?

I'm afraid I'll say no dice on this because the auto has a bunch of stuff in the way of junk on the board that does the lockup, to me it seems akin to a vtec conversion but Iono how to do it, anyway, you can't only have one lockup, you'll code if you run the auto ecu in the car. Just run manual and run constant power to the lockup on the tranny.

ok i'll run ign power to it but if my car crashes though the gararge wall or my tranny falls out at 70 mph on the freeway, i'm holding u responsable as helga is my DD and i cant afford to lose her.

what kinda current are we talking about? 1/2 an amp?

To be honest, iono, I had mine hooked up to the fuse panel for a few months,

I say the best bet is to find an automatic ECU. I'm sure you can get one for around $30 or so. Do you want me to keep an eye out for an auto pm6?

This is for an obd1 conversion though, right Mr. Master?

Just use a manual ecu and run the ignition switched power to the lockup solenoid, I tried an auto ecu and it coded at me.
