Guys....I need serious help here....my 04 EJ25 SOHC is in my L, along with the 04 ECU and is wired into my L harness, but the girl refuses to start. The injectors wont fire at all. Im told that they are linked to the IMMOBILIZER which is normally wired into all the doors & other switches/sensors etc etc etc. But since the loom has been cut down it wont release the immobilizer. Even with the 04 Forry key barrel wired up too she wont fire!
From the asking around my new mechanic has done, he tells me that the later model Subaru's have much more intricate Immobilizer systems and the ONLY way to get around it is to virtually fully install the entire (uncut) Forester loom to satisfy this ECU. IS this true?
As fully installing this entire loom is not feazible, I can only see two options available to me....install an aftermarket ECU or try to install an earlier model Sube ECU then hope that it will connect to this 04 engine. But then Im told that engines have different plugs n pins etc from one year/model to the next.....
Can anyone offer any advice.........?
Can you get aftermarket ECU's without selling your soul to get one ie affordable..??? How much are they..??
Is an 2003 (with less demanding ECU) or earlier ECU compatible with my 2004 EJ25 SOHC...???
This is all that needs doing on my car and she's ready to drive away....
