Installing an ECU
 

OK, I've finally found an ECU that I think i'm going to buy. [sm=happy046.gif]

Now i need to know how to install the piece. I understand that the old one is behind the glove box ('97 Eclipse GST). But my new worry is, does it need to be programed or can I just plug it in and drive off? Anyone replace there and have helpful tips on how they did it?

thanks for all the info.

just plug and play my friend.. plug in the new one start the car let it idle for a few minutes then drive it..
.

Just unplug the battery before you do anything though (just common sence but some of us lack that lol)

Thanks.

and i have to admit i lacked that once. tried to install a starter forgetting to unplug the battery. plus i even hooked up the starter wrong the first time too. so right as i went to put all wires back on the starter started to spin. freaked me out. I felt like an idiot lol.

That makes me really happy to hear its so easy. Saves me the big buck from having to take it over to Mitsu.

You said that the ECU you thought was behind the glove box? My friend's got a '95 gst and his was behind his radio. but i can assume our makes are different set ups.
