BP ECU swap.... won't work???

Okay the best way to explain this is by the following:

old ecu:

BP ECU:

So.. yeah.. my current ECU has 3 plugs (and that sensor), whereas the BP only has 2 plugs

any ideas what to do, or am i just screwed?

Old ECU look like my V6 ECU (92-95). Is the other a 4cyl ECU? One way or the other I vote your screwed. Do you have a 4 or a 6 cyl? If it's a 4 I can check our wreckers. They have 2 4cyls in there right now.

4cyl. And i'm getting up parts for the BP swap, and the 2nd ECU pic is of the BP (it says BPVR EGI BPVR 18 881A 078700-6000 12V Denso Made In Japan 0060006)

it worked fine in my car?

yeah that's what makes it more odd LOL...

also, Trevo's BP throttle body won't work either.. his electrical "plug" has 3 connections on it, whereas mine has 4.

at least the VAF he sent me works

Thats probably the difference between auto and manual. The TPS also has 4 connections for auto and 3 for manual i think.

Also 90-94 BP ECU is compatible only with 92-93 SOHC harness - it wont fit into the 94 DOHC harness......

gah that totally makes sense!!

well I guess it's still worth keeping these parts for when I do my BP swap haha... they are just going to have wait to be installed...

thats why urs has 3 plugs and the bp has 2 plugs its from a manual setup..

hit up the junk yards find a auto BP im betting the auto bp ecu might have 3 plugs
