October 24, 200520 yr If I replace the ECU, will the car need to go the dealer anyway for something? Is this a DIY project? Where can i get an OEM besides the dealer? michael
October 24, 200520 yr Replacing the ECU yourself is not a problem. Please don't keep making different posts for the same problem. Just continue on with the original thread. If I replace the ECU, will the car need to go the dealer anyway for something? Is this a DIY project? Where can i get an OEM besides the dealer? michael
October 24, 200520 yr Author Thanks for the reply and a note on the "rules". I just called the dealer and they said the ecu would be $1500, is this correct? Michael

Michael Or, you can send me 200, and I'll get you a tested good one from the junkyard. 1500 bucks is insane... The local pick-a-part sells ECM's for 35 bucks, WITH a 30 day warranty.
October 24, 200520 yr Author well I called another dealer and they said $513. Thanks for the reply storydude, I am going to take it to the dealer for some diagnosis work, at least. I need to get a working car. This site is great. thanks michael

October 24, 200520 yr get me (pm) your VIN number for the exact price BUT i'm coming up with $455.25 new.... our site: www.subarugenuineparts.com OEM part, brand new. but all electrical sales are final so you need to make sure this is what you NEED before ordering.... contact me if i can help Jamie
October 24, 200520 yr Author the car is fixed now, the dealer mechanics put it back together correctly. My frustration levels got to me and I should have stuck with it. I assumed there was more too it, put back in the wire harnesses are simple enough. But what got me was the CEL light. It was one b/c the fuel gauge was not put in at some point and I turned the key. I should have cleared the codes after putting it together myself. This forum is great. learn from my mistake. Michael
