I believe my ECM is bad. I've got a misfire in 4 and a fuel injector code for the same cylinder along with the open circut fuel system status. I replaced the coil and the injector in 4.
So, I bought a new ECM on ebay from a company that said they'd program it to my VIN. Got the ECM, installed it, and tried the key learn process.
I'm not able to complete the key learning process because of the following issue.
When I turn the key on and then perform the first 10min. wait cycle the security system light never goes out. I don't get the "Starting Disabled - Remove Key" error. Instead, I get the "Security System Failure" error or something like that.
On top of that, when I go to turn the key off after 10min., I can't turn it off or remove it from the ignition.
I have to hook up my old ECM just to get the key out.
Any ideas what's going on here? Is the new ECM bad? Am I doing someting wrong on initial hookup? Has anyone actually replaced the ECM effectively and been able to start the car or reprogram the ECM to the old keys?
