Default Kswap ECU problem

How's it guys, I'm keno. I'm new to Honda tech,
I have a problem I'm trying to resolve with my kswap. I have a 98 civic coupe. It has a k20a3 motor it has a PRC-013 ECU equipt with hondata kpro. I was running the car for a few months. Than all of a sudden. It stop running . Couldn't start. No nothing. Come to find out. My kpro board in the ECU. Burnt. Pin U4 burnt rite off. . don't know how. So. I just recently ordered a PRC -j01 ECU. Hoping I could just plug and play, but still doesn't start. No fuel pump prime and no spark . I'm pritty Shure the injectors aren't getting any pulse either. My question is. Do I need to swap any wires on. Any on the ECU connectors. ? I see some post about moving E10 to e10 or e7. How do i get power to coil packs and injectors? Thanks guys

So, you are socketing the ECU board to accept the K-Pro daughter board yourself ?

No the ECU that has the kpro is my PRC 013. And the kpro board that's mounted in the ECU burnt

So I just bought a different ECU. The PRC j01 and I'm not gonna be running kpro. . I just need to get the car running that's why

Immobilizer is probably what you are running into.

​​​if I'm not mistaken. I think a immoblizer bypass is connected to my harness
it's a little black box with 4 wires coming out of it
How else could I disable the immobilizer with out having to run a kpro? Because the ECU I just purchased costed me 700$. And I don't think I can afford another kpro at the moment . I live in Hawaii.. prices for everything is rediculius out here..lol

Why not get a locksmith to program the current key and immobilizer ring to the new ECU ? Also, if you have a K-Tuned Immobilizer Bypass box, it doesn't work with a PRC ECU.
