You'll need the auto ECM.

is it a plug and play? because the car is originally a manual.

If you used the auto harness then yes. The Auto ecm is mapped different because of the different requirements of the engine. You can use an auto ECM on a manual but not the other way around from what I have read.

Did you put an auto transmission in it also or no?
