"R" or "T5-R" ECU issue...
Hey, I just received my ecu from a guy on ebay, he assured me it was from a 97 850 R, here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT
Now, I disconnected the positive terminal on the battery, after i've installed the ecu, the car won't start, turns over, but no start.
Should I have disconnected the both the positive and negative terminals of the battery before installation? I also have a flashing arrow and a check engine light from this. Oh, the check engine light was from an o2 sensor which I have yet to replace. Before this, I cleared the code and the light never came back on until today.
I don't have a scanner on hand, i'll have to go to autozone for it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm uploading videos now...

Gilber, yes, starts right up with old ecu.

When I put in the new ecu, it trips the fan to come on? IDK car still doesn't start. This man needs to give me my money back.
I think he tampered with it, the casing felt loose before I opened it up...

I called up ipd and spoke with a rep. He states that the ecu numbers have to match. 072,628,936 no matter what years. So i've been reading all over that a bosch 628 ecu is compatible with an 850 turbo,t5 but never heard of anyone's scenario anywhere close to mine... all i hear is plug and play.
I guess i've been reading this stuff wrong and been told wrong for almost a year now. Guess i'm out $130. time to start saving for other crap.

I got the vin from donor car:YV1LS5821V2386461. My vin is YV1LS572XV1368421
Ok seems legit, it's an R, 1997, made in ghent, belgium. Mine is a 1997 T5, made in torslanda,sweden. Same bosch motronic 4.3 ecu, no egr, no air pump, w/ obd-II, w/elec. control evap.
Well I have no clue. guess I just need a chip tune.
Boxpin- my ecu is 072. I checked my ac over and over, it's fine.

My thoughts were the same that the ECU numbers had to match. When I was reading when you 1st talked about this (before you received it) I was thinking the same thing...guess I should have chimed in!
Gilber could be correct as well the ECU might be bad! Someone will pick it up from you. Hit that dude up who put a new thread up about his 1995 850 T5 he just bought...make sure the ECU is good 1st though!!

This is another reason why I think it is FUBAR!! On a Mustang when the stock ECU is bad the fuel pump constantly runs. Not that these are Mustangs but these are odd symptoms none the less.

When I was done I tried the T-5R ECU and the car would not start. It started with the Wagon ECU. The Wagon ECU was an 072 but the T-5R ECU was not. So to say that the same years are plug and play...I would say not.
Later I purchased another 072 on ebay that I used while IPD was flashing mine. 072 to 072 worked but same years did not.
