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?

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.

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
