your ecu should be in the engine compartment on the left hand side. What year is your car, the earlier ones can't be flashed.

Default sorry....

it can't be reflashed. There wasn't an immobiliser set up in the '98 vehicles. You most likely will have to get another ecu with keys. Try to talk the dealership and see if they can help in any way.
