My cousin just bought a 97 CRV EX with a bad motor and needs to replace it. We were wondering if the CRV had a immobilizer in the years 97. I've looked online and some say the car didnt come with it until 00 but on some honda web sites it states that 98 was one of the first years to have it and that honda improved it in 99 then another one in 00...

Im a little confused here with the immobilizer... Never try to swap in a motor to a car that has a immobilizer...

Any help? Thanks
