LMAO!!!! I might as well put this new knowledge to work!

OP, I was vague on the why, my bad I was in a hurry yesterday. Basically if there is something wrong with the ECU it would be pretty darn difficult to figure out where or why. With a new one it would be easier to just input factory settings and run Teach in of Drive Authorization to mate your ECU to your key(s) and VIN. That is also why someone else can't really do the programming for you. Say you send me your ECU, it will be programmed to my key and VIN not yours.

Plus this way will be a lot cheaper than having someone troubleshoot and try to fix yours.
