ECU Question

I did a quick search...didn't come up with anything

I bought a wrecked probe gt as a donor car for my swap, but the probe was ATX and my mx3 is MTX.

Long story short, can I use the probe's ecu or do I have to find an ECU out of a MTX car?

You should be able to use it. I did the ATX swap to MTX in my MX-3 and I am still using the ATX ECU that came with my car. So I dont see why you couldnt use the Probe ECU in your car. The plugs are all the same.. you just wont have a TCM (transmission control module) to worry about. Shouldnt cause any grief for you.

that is great news. Good thing I didn't take the car to the wrecker yet.

You will need to use the VAF from the probe though since it is different than the VAF we use in the MX-3's. No big deal though since you should likely have one at hand.
