Engine mount control system question
I have completed about 98% of my auto to manual swap in my 97 Accord. One thing I haven't seen any information on is the Engine mount control system in the rear mount. Is it ran from the ECU or the TCU? Can I just plug the vacuum line or do I need to do more? The mount is shot. Maybe I need to replace with the same type? Any help would be appreciated.

For the 1997, only Accords with the automatic came with the engine mount control system.
For the 6 cylinder automatic, the electronic control engine mount solenoid valve was controlled via the TCM.
I would think that you can probably just plug the vacuum line.
- 97 4 cylinder automatic had a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) instead of an ECM.
- 97 4 cylinder manual had an Engine Control Module (ECM) instead of a PCM.
- 97 V6 had an ECM and a separate Transmission Control Module (TCM).
For the 6 cylinder automatic, the electronic control engine mount solenoid valve was controlled via the TCM.
I would think that you can probably just plug the vacuum line.

Thank for all your help. I welded the mount together as a "get by for now". Now, I am using the computer that was originally in the car, 1997 HA F22B2 with auto trans. The computer I got with the 1996 HA had different sized plugs all across the computer so nothing would plug up. Oh, the tcu is built into the computer. So, do I need to just unplug the tcu plug or find a computer that is correct? Is the computer from a 5 speed 97 what I need? Just had back surgery so this may not make any sense. Thank for the help
