Which ECU?
If you had my 1998 Civic DX 5 speed manual and needed a new ECU, as I do in my effort to resolve these ongoing running problems, would you get the 1996 Civic 5 speed manual ECU (Federal) or a 1997 Civic DX 5 speed manual ECU? I can get either, test it, and return it within 24hrs if it does not solve the problem. The cost is a mere $107... nearly 700 bucks less than the dealer quoted, 500 cheaper than online might have been.
I go to get one tomorrow, would love to have forum members' input first.
Many thanks in advance, guys.

BTW, I'm still considering the HX conversion, but this is a cheap way to get my daily driver back on the road ASAP (I hope it works).
