Finally some positive results.

Today I put in the ECU, Immobilizer and ignition module set that I got from the dismantler.

I swapped the matched set key RFID chip into my key as they all have to match to work, but the key is cut for my door and ignition, hence the swap of RFID chip and transmitter from the dismanteler key into my original unit.

So I got it all hooked up crossed my fingers, reconnected the battery and turned the key to ON and let it do the 1 minute adaptation process without touching the egas pedal. Then off for 10 seconds and START.

The engine started right up and settled into a nice idle. The gas pedal was responding and reving the engine....hurray!!!!
It was not acting funny at all, the idle was steady and normal.

Tomorrow I will test drive it to verify its all working normal again and check for thrown codes.

Now the only issue I am seeing is the airbag light and the doors will not lock.
I click the remote to lock and I can hear the doors lock, and then they click again and unlock.

I used the key to lock the driver side door which works but the passenger side will not lock, and then I found out that the passenger door does not have a key opening. Hmmmm never noticed that before.

Since the donor cars ECU, Immobilizer were from a car that was in an accident and the front air bags deployed I figured I may have to reset something to get rid of the airbag light.
I figure that the computer also makes sure the doors remain unlocked in an accident when the bags deploy so its probably related.
