my ongoing a/c trouble...

so uh... i received my ecu yesterday and sent it off to richiev6 to have a key programmed to it, i was just curious since this ecu is a type s, and my car is not a type s, would it be ok to plug the new ecu in with my current setup (i'm sure i'd get a CEL, but honestly i don't care, we don't have inspections here) but would that possibly damage something? it's getting rough here without A/C
first thing i would say is CHECK the PINOUTS (you don't want something shorting out, just for being lazy; "opens" [like having no wiring for the runner control] should be no problem though [except for maybe a ground or something, so make sure those are fully intact first])

possibly, cause aren't the pinouts out ever so slightly different (btw is it an auto S ecu, since i don't think you have actually done it yet), let alone also being different between the years slightly too

as far as pinouts, they might have changed some of them though, because of adding the runner control and the VSA, so you might have to repin the connector in order for it to work properly (and not fry anything)

so i had the interior apart today because i was installing the isimple soundbyte adapter (i just bought an ipod touch) and i figured, hmmmm. i got the ecu back from richie, so why not try things out. i was feeling dangerous, so i pulled back the carpet and removed my ecu, looked at the two and they looked EXACTLY the same, minus the part numbers of course. so i said what the hell plugged in the new one. she started up just fine, the a/c works!!! the only problem i see is TCS light is on now, but who the hell cares about that?
