Better check to see if your ECU is tied to the key and security system (immobilizer). I believe it is. So you''ll have to get your keys programmed to the new ecu. Also the programmed VIN will change. The ecu's are either Federal or California emissions. You should make sure they match.

Yes. unless you want to do the ghetto immob chip removal and have the check engine light on permanently. it's a theft prevention device, so its there for a reason.
