    And also ignition , most cars now the ignition , keys , door locks , BCM, ECU and even instrument clusters all coded together , you can usually find people selling kits on ebay , i know becausei have been there and done all of it before , and you also have to make sure the ECU is the same part number as ECU can be for AUTO or manual

You have to get the BCM , and sometimes instrument clusters all the same because they are all coded

Hi guys, I just want to ask something, can I replace ECU of 2001 Nissan Hard Body 2.4 petrol model with a Dictator Management

Question edited for clarity.

Not sure how you 'service' and ECU, as it is a hard wired computer management system with no serviceable parts.

For rough idle and shaking I would start with spark plugs and then go onto cleaning the throttle body and MAF.

Your ECU Question may be better answered in the specialist Nissan forums in this link. There is some help in the link as well.

How can i disable the engine immobilizer and start the car on a Saab 900 convertable

no key needs a tow to a work shop
cant pull out wires from ECU and immobilizer at random
you end up with a bigger mess


check fuel to injectors
and spark to plugs
then other sensors first

2001 SAAB 9-3 SE won't send signal to start

Is your SAAB automatic? If so, it is most likely the Neutral Safety Switch. I have had the same problem, it is very common in automatic Saab 9-3 models made in 1999-2002.
