I have a bad ECU and need to change it out.
Can I buy a used ECU from another car and put it in?
Does the part number matter or as long as the car is the same year?

 

ecu will work but the key has to be reprogrammed for the immobilizer. unless of course you get the JDM ecu which doesnt have an immobilizer

 

i thought the pre 04 years didnt have the imobilizer here either.. ive been wrong before about the ap1s tho..

 

you can install it yourself (preferably in the Honda lot) and then have them program your key so you can drive your car.

make sure you get an ap2 ecu and not an ap1.

 

TITS

 

ap1 do have an immobilizer from what i've read

i was thinking up "upgrading" my 00 ecu to the 02/03 ecu as it supposedly has some "benefits" whihc may or may not be true. just feels cooler to have an 03 ecu

 

So it doesn't matter if I get an AP1 or AP2 ECU?
Both will work okay?

 

from above......

"make sure you get an ap2 ecu and not an ap1. "

 

I wanted to say something but I looked at those breasts and forgot what I was gonna say.

 

Took me about 20 minutes to get past the first post
