new to the 2jz (lexus world)

i have a engine from a 2000 lexus gs300 going into my 2006 ford crown victoria. just for kicks i want to use the stock ecu as a standalone to just test fire the motor. Just wondering if the antitheft or immboilizer is built in the ecu , if it isnt - that means i should just wire the ecu as a standalone and it should fire up . i know it might run like crap, but to see and hear it idle for a few seconds will be rewarding.

P.S. i have everything from the lexus gs300 ,

Haha, crazy swap! Reminds me of caca tokyo drift with the mustang

Anyways... I believe the immobilizer IS build in to the ECU, one of the unique blessings on the GS making it, well immobilized and hard to steal Hope someone can confirm this.

dam, i was hoping it wasnt, but im sure i can remove the ignition from the steering colum and dewire the harness, i still have the key/fob

JeffTsai would be the one to get some answers. Hes the only one I know who beat the system

Kipod did also when he installed his push button start

thanks for the help, i will contact him

I actually lost ignition in my 02 2gs so I ran a wire from the bottom connector port of where the relay sits to a switch, and ran the other end of the switch to the bottom connector port..

I have it wired to a switch mounted to my switch panel and then I turn the ley in the on position, them hit the switch, let the car start. Then hit the switch again to turn off the starter. Picture shown is the night I figured out how to get it running after installing a new alternator and new starter and getting no response. I used a small wire to bridge the 2 connections and it starts. Just make sure your key is in and on the ON position or else itll never start.
