Re: computer question
You don't have to change it (unlike a 5-spd to auto swap for the TCC). Try it out & see how it is. There are differences in the startup and idle calibration between the two.
If it runs Ok then you are good to go. Otherwise a different calibration may help. This would be the PROM or MEMCAL, not the whole ECM.
