Just to update if anybody is interested, my Vibe has now been running great since Sept last year. The first ECU i got off of ebay was faulty, so I purchased another one with the same model number as the original. Performed the 'ecu handshake' procedure and car has been running fine since. Thanks for...

Found this video where you transfer the eeprom that holds the immobilizer info to your new ecu, problem is I do not know which chips exactly that I need to transfer....

Otherwise, I found a locksmith that can program the ecu for $165 charge.

Ok so I tried the 30 min procedure, pins 13 and 4 jumped. Didn't work. Tried it for 45 mins, same result. I believe this is the the right path, just missing another step for resetting the immobilizer... darn it I didn't even know the car had an immobilizer! :lol: Anyone have some quick tips? Is ther...

Thanks jolt. That looks very promising. Now just need to figure which actual pins to jump for my car! 07 vibe... edit: found this on the webz... look right? We were asked to "program" a used PCM for this 05 Corolla 1ZZ-FE by a local shop. He had been fighting a P0353 (?) and was sure that ...

Where as ...

Where can I find pin 87 or 30?

Thanks for the troubleshooting guide jolt. Sorry for the newb question, when it says handheld tester, is that an OBD2 scan tool?

Yeah man it's quite easy to get to the fuel pump connector, just lift up the rear seat 'cushions' (remove bolts), and you can access the fuel pump connector right there after taking off the cover. Might have to hit up the corolla/matrix forums to see if we can get any more advice.

Hello folks, I have an 07 Vibe 1zz that cranks but will not start. No volts from fuel pump connector. I have checked the EFI mini fuses and they are ok, I switched the EFI relay with the fog lamp relay, and both relays seem to be good. I also swapped the C/OPN relay with the P/W relay, and both rela...
