can anyone help me out with this

[LaosBoi]

my car is throwing a code 70 (Automatic Transaxle) when i checked it, its a 96 civic ex converted from automatic to manual

[scttydb411]

did you change from the auto to manual ecu?

[LaosBoi]

yea the rite ecu is in the check engine light just stays on and now when i start the car it idles at 1500 and shuts off

Is there a secondary ecu for the automatic still hooked up?

There is no way you have the right ECU setup in there if it's throwing that code. Check for a Transmission Control unit and make sure that your ECU is ACTUALLY a manual ECU for your engine.

96-00 Civic did not have a TCM.

If u are using a manual ecu then it would not have code 70 like wat kaiser said.
