ECU computer replaced
I just replaced my computer with the same exact part number ECU
the 1st one had the CEL light on constantly
the 2nd one made the CEL go off but now the car will not start....does anyone know if there was something special i was supposed to do?

Rep Power: 340 did you flash the ecu?
does it turn over but not start?
if yes, you need to reflash the ecu to recognize the immobiliizer chip in the key and the code in the immobilizer unit

Rep Power: 376 Ok dropped it off
apparently its not "REFLASHING" the ECU
those damn honda guys made me look like a dumbass
he referred to that term as a street term and there is no such thing
and the problem is that i need to have the KEYS reprogrammed
