ECU swapping in 2000+ with Immobilizer...

Another interesting piece of info that I forgot to mention
on the webpage which I found in the FSM,  is that if
you fail the key code check 5 times, your immobilizer
will lock up and will not allow the engine to be started
unless all keys, immobilizer, and ecu are re-flashed with
the codes.

Therefore,  trying to start the car w/ only the 95-97 ECU
will lock you out after 5 tries...  hopefully my theory works
so we wont have this problem.
