Just found out the A9M is for Automatic cars and A9L is for manual cars.

My car is a Manual and has a A9M ECM. ???? What gives ???

A manual car should be ok with an auto computer.
But, an auto car wouldn't be too great with a manual computer. So I have heard.


The A9M should work just fine for you.

only thing that sucked about the auto puter was that every time you started it or shifted gears the rpms would jump up
