keep searching if you think it's only that. 2000+ is e-throttle, his isn't.
DME
wiring
and....
TIME

Dont know about you, but my time is worth something, even to myself. a 2.5 engine swap is the cheapest, easiest & quickest method. Could be back on the road in a weekend.

A 2.5 isn't worth all that much to begin with compared to a 2.7 or even an S and much worth even less then an 02/03.

Market is finally starting to come back down to pre-pandemic levels. It isn't there yet, but is starting to get there.

Replace the engine with the same engine or wait till winter and buy a different one.
