Will a 2zz run on a 1zz ECU?

I have an 03 vibe base model that I just put a 2zz in out of a 04 vibe GT. I am not getting any fuel from the fuel pump. Could this be due to the 1zz ECU or did I foul something up when putting the 2zz in? I am just trying to make sure the 2zz runs before I drop $200 for the right ECU.

Thanks!

I'm not sure it will run. You are lucky enough that the ECU pin-outs are the same, I think and the harness is pretty close. No dude you need to buy the ECU, you can get a 03-04 GT/XRS ECU but the 05+ won't work. I'd suggest you look over a few 1zz and 2zz ECM diagrams.

I'm amazed you took on the effort of a motor swap and yet didn't know you needed the ECU, as well. Ballsy. ;) haha But yes, you'll need the ecu whether that's the current problem solver or not.

Yes it will. If its for the purposes of starting. I have personally done it. I have not driven it with a 1zz ecu but it will run. I did it for the purpose of trying to diagnose a ecu problem.

Awesome thanks guys! Do you have any ideas on where I should start with my lack of fuel problem?

I would start by checking your efi fuses.
