run an A9L with a AOD?

[Bad92GT]

could i possibly run a manual computer with a aod?

 

[Roland69]

I'm pretty sure you can run the other way (auto comp in a manual) so maby you can I would think so. But someone correct me cause I'm not 100% sure on this

I have always heard you can run the 5spd w/ the automatic computer but not the automatic w/ the 5spd computer.

 

[Roland69]

you could be right I wasn't sure

I dont think you can run a manual cpu with an auto, i know for a fact that you can run an auto with a manual because i am...

is your's the A9P I want to convers so I am just getting ideas. I would like to find a comp from a 89 with a manual trans.

 

[Bad92GT]

well if i do swap.. i'll have to trade out for a AOD computer lol

 

[Roland69]

I will get a AOD comp and trade you for a manual.

Off topic, I need a 5.0 auto ecu, if interested hit me on aim or pm.

 

[mattmcdan]

I also forgot with the research I've been doing, you can not run a manual ecu with an automtic, but you can run either ecu with a manual.

Is the a9p an auto computer?

Becuase thats what i'm running right now but i want to switch for an a9l in the future and see if it runs any better.

 

[Roland69]

yes A9P is auto and A9L is manual

 

[JBeezy53]

yes A9P is auto and A9L is manual

Are you sure? I have an A9P in my car (89 GT w/T5) and I was told that the A9P was used in the california cars and are basically the same as an A9L but does something to the egr to help it pass emmisions better.

yes im sure.. and im unaware of that part.. what i know is that the A9P doesn't back off the timing like a A9L does.. A9L backs off the timing in between shifts.. A9P is made to give you its all, 24/7

i did a t-5 to automatic swap in my 90lx. andi kept the manual computer. i had no driveability problems.

Thanks. That may explain the hanging rpm problem I have had before.

before i swapped over to a T5 my A9P puter died so I borrowed a buddies A9L and it worked fine with the AOD for a week. Now I'm running a Autozone computer thats a rebuilt A9P with my T5 and have no issues....so either way they work. Hope that helps.

 

[Roland69]

has anyone ever priced a new one or what is a reman one worth

I'VE BEN RUNNING AN A9L IN MY AOD FOR 3 YEARS NO PROBLEMS HERE.

 

[crazypete]

It cant be that much of a difference since both AOD and T-5 cars were rated at the same power, passed the same emissions testing and have the same supporting hardware (injectors, fuel pump, ignition system...etc..).

I cannot image what difference it would make between the computers. Slightly different timing? More fuel? What is the actual showstopper here? I'm sure it would run "just fine".
