Yes the ECM has to match the engine so it doesn’t try to fire non-existing cylinders! Unless you can find someone to reprogram it.

Maybe but the ecm expects the correct impulses on crankshaft sensor. Maybe 1992 doesn’t I don’t know. Try it and see.

These models hasnt crankshaft sensor and ecu work with spining the distributer shaft ....
Then with map info and tps info calculate fuel injecting
But i dont know this model has a oxygen sensor or not if has oxygen sensor with this sensor can optimize fuel usage ...
