Cool ECU swaps possible?
Hello all,

I need some real good advise about a 2005 LX 1.7l se, auto 146k one owner, me:P


The ECU has bad coil driver cylinder 1 no spark. The signal wire at the connector with the car running is dead. Part # 37820-PLR-A73 My question is can I use any number that year long as it comes with the immobilizer and key?

I found a 378820-PLM-A72 or does it need or should be the same.

I think you can get it reprogrammed for around $100.
