... I'm pretty sure that I've run an AT version of the ECU in one of my cars ... and I don't recall any difference in the idle speed.  I do know that I've swapped in various chips and found all to work ... I suspect the ECU hardware is identical for the AT and MT cars ... the PROM is the only difference ... 

... if you run completely out of options to find a replacement, I do have a couple spares at home ... perhaps we can work out a trade of sorts ...
