Motorsport Electronics ME442 PlugIn ECU for Mazda MX-5 96-97

Product information

The Motorsport Electronics ME442 MX-5 Plug-In is the latest Engine Management System for the Mk1 (3 Plug NA) MX-5 / Miata, years 1996-1997 1.6/1.8. This package includes the Wideband Sensor and Cable.

You may have a later 1996-1997 Mk1 (with pop up headlights) but if your car has TWO plugs that connect to the ECU then you need the 1989-1995 version. This is the 3 plug ECU version.

The ME442 supports the 1.6 and 1.8 model from the same hardware, and also fits the OEM case, which means the ME442 installs tidily into the OEM position. The only extra thing you need to do besides plugging it in is run a MAP vacuum hose (supplied) from the ECU to the intake manifold.
