I'm assuming you have a 2001?

Did you get these 3 things?
- key
- ignition lock
- ecu

You also have to re-program the key to the car I believe
Anyone know if the ecu jumps to a new code when you unplug it?







Edit: fail, i been drinking and did't fully read your thing, yeah it says 2001. doh!!

This is weird, you need to make sure the key will work or ur screwed too. Remember 2001 ECU's need to have a working key in order to make new ones! Or else you will need another ECU with atleast one working key, Make sure it works!! dont take any chances
