I found this in the junkyard, assumed it was an early ECM due to 80 pin. Was a while ago and don't remember the year and model of car. Did any of these come with an immobilizer?
I hooked it up to my 1999.5 TDI swapped MkI and the Ross Tech cable couldn't connect, and it would crank but not fire for the 5 seconds I tried it. Is the ECM dead? I thought I read that the immo would let the engine run for like 5 seconds then shut off, not, cause the ECM to not power up.
Inside the case nothing looks fried.
