Default Putting my car back to stock...need ECU help

OK, Ive decided to keep my car, and Im gonna put it back to stock with the exception of some very minor bolt on stuff. All internals will be stock. My problem is that my stock ECU was stolen during my original buildup, and I decided to purchase the AEM EMS. Well, needless to say, I wasnt able to find a tuner that could tune the driveability of the car the way it should be. Yeah it made tons of power, but for the most part it was a nightmare to drive. I dont want to run the EMS with a mainly stock motor. I want to get an ITR ECU, but I know there are security features and whatnot that would prevent me from just plugging one in and going. I need some help on the options I have as far as that goes. I know this is a touchy subject, so if anyone has any info, please just PM me so I can get an idea of what I need to do to run a stock ECU. Thanks

Nice to hear an update with good news Ryan. You could just go OBD1, if you want to go that route.

Might run into trouble with inspections, depending on the state. That wouldn't pass in NC emission counties.

I dont want or need anymore problems with the car. I want it back to stock and thats it. Im pretty confident our future NYS inspection and emissions will have a problem with an OBD2 car running an OBD1 computer.

I know this can be done at the stealership, but Im not trying to fork out a ton of money to do it. I know there are ways around it, I just need some concrete plans to do it so I can buy a used ECU from someone.

If you can get a hold of another ECU. Take that ECU to the dealership and they'll obtain a break code through our Interactive Network and reprogram the immobilizer in the ECU.
