Your best bet's going to be taking the ECU to a shop that specializes in automotive electrical repair, as both the equipment and the specialized knowledge required for reprogramming an ECU as such aren't easy to come by *or* inexpensive. Where did you get the used ECU from? Do you know if it came from the same year and model as yours, and if it had the same size engine as yours? If it came out of an identical model, it shouldn't need any reprogramming, unless the issue is related to some kind of factory anti-theft mechanism or device.

replaced timing chain on my 03 ION 3 - now leaking oil. Is there is replacement seal that I should have put on the harmonic balancer? 6 answers
Leaking oil - oil plug is fine. I did not use any sealant around the gasket when replacing the engine cover, nor did I do anything where the cover goes over the crank shaft. What should I have done?
