Default ECU cant be read

Tuner called and said the ECU can not be read. I am guessing there is a lock on it from the previous tuner. Is it possible to buy a new ECU? Where would I look?

Junkyard, or post a WTB ad here in our classifieds section.

There are some tuners around that have the ability to "unlock" your locked PCM. That's another option that you could look into.

Thanks for the response. I noticed ebay had a few for sale, I am not sure if anyone has had experience with these? Pretty cheap too for backups.

I have a program to find the key it can take up to 4 days depending where it is in the 65535 keys to try. Also was your guy able to see what part number operating system it is that can be an issue to depending what tuning suite your using.
