What year? If 94/95, no need to worry about immobiliser. If 96 on, immboliser is more intelligent, so can't just swap ecu

It is exceedingly rare for these ECUs to fail, so that would be the last place I would look.  I live data on it may give clues, rather than the heresay put about by mechanics who haven't kept up, and always assume its an ecu
