ecm for 350 cc carb with t -5

I bought the ecm for the zz4 conversion kit and swiched the chip from my old one to it.I know that that ecm is for an auto but i thought if i put my old chip in i could still use the ecm but it lights up the engine light. Am i wrong is the ecm not compatable with a stick? or what? I tried using the chip that came with it two no luck.

Thanks

Dave

You can't just plug any chip into any computer. Generally the ecms aren't tranny specific, newer PCMs can be.

Gm puts part of the code in the ecm and part in the chip, they also move things around, so that you can't just switch and match.
