I know this is a taboo topic but either my ecu or immobilizer is giving me problems and my 04 acura tl won't start. I ordered the set of a new ecu and immobilizer together but seeing that i have to wait 7 - 10 business days someone please pm me how to remove the immobilizer from the ecu/which chip to remove. I can't be without my ride for that long, it would be too much of a struggle. Some one please help!

are you sure its the immoblizer system? Are you getting a blinking green light while trying to start the car in the gauge cluster?

Thanks for answering. Yes and i also confirmed it with my mechanic.

Well it would be better if i said the problem was in the ecu because i get thegreen flashing key but i never liked cutting corners so i ordered another immobilizer thats will come with the ecu just to kill any future problem that could possibly come about.

Did you guys try replacing the receiver unit (sensor that picks up the key)? If not, that could be the issue and is a quick fix as many places have it in stock.

If you did, then the best bet is to pull it out of a wrecked TL. Immoblizer pretty much cuts power off to the fuel pump so you could technically have the mechanic jump power to the fuel pump.

Ahh i wish i had to time and I'd rather be around when my car is being tinkered with. I only wanted a quick (unsafe but quick) fix sution until everything arrived
