Tried to change ECU now won't fire/start !
We have changed the ECU on MY00 which as standard is the AE802 for a AE801, well that was the plan but as soon as you turn the attempt to the key all the relays go mad, the engine management light is on saying check engine and it won't fire & run it just dies..
I know that some require the coding business but on the 99/00 they don't need it so its not that, is it possible the ECU I have is faulty or is it possibly something else ? I've plugged the original back in and its fine, starts and runs perfectly..
I have emailed Simon (JGM) as he gave me advice to start with but I know he's a busy guy so it could be a while before I hear back from him, any advice in the mean while would be great though

A new key fob will need matching to alarm and a new key has a transponder for the immobiliser, but in your case there should be no issue changing the AE802 for a AE801 (have done it myself on a UK MY00) so I guess the 801 you have may be faulty.
