Safest way to go back to a stock ecu?
Posted this in EVO general but I think this is more appropriate part of the forums.
How do I go back to a stock ecu? I currently have an apexi power fc stand alone when I bought the car but Its not working out for me. The car doesn't have much mods. Mostly bolt ons. I bought an ecu off the forums, so what's the safest way to go about this? I have a tactrix 1.3u cable on the way. Do I use evoscan or mitsulogger? Please Help me out. Thanks.

I (like you) am going back to a stock ecu, it depends how you're setup currently and what sensors you have.
For example, I do not have a stock MAF, narrow band o2, fuel pressure sensor, im sure im missing some others.
I'm trying to decide if getting a sensor like the fuel pressure is even worth it. My guess is probably not. Might be able to turn any code that would throw, off.
*edit* I'm also reading up on a worrying issue about the immobilizer that I can't seem to get an answer to on how to A: turn that off or B: (preferable) program it for my key.

the immobilizer is a joke anyway. I wouldnt put any effort into getting that working again. If you are worried about it, install a kill switch somewhere to cut power to the fuel pump or something.
