Which ECU?

[RyanUkAus]

G'day everyone! I hope this is the correct place to post this as I was advised this is the best site to find out what I need (searching forums is limited thanks to my poor connection...). I'm doing an engine and gearbox swap to my 1992 Toyota 4runner, the engine is a 1997 vvti 1UZFE from a Toyota Celsior and came with the 4spd automatic. Unfortunately the ECU provided wouldn't connect with the wiring loom and I assumed I was given a pre-vvti 1UZ ecu instead of what I needed, I was provided with a second ECU which also wouldn't connect to the wiring loom... I've decided to search online ebay to try and find an ECU which will work with my specific engine model and any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

It seems even with the 1997 versions there's two different variants.

Both the 97 ecus are for series two motors. The First one(the 1998) one is a VVti ecu. Cheers

Thanks!

I was fortunate enough to hear today the ECU I should have gotten originally had arrived and it was the correct one, the year model was 1998.

Cool. Hope it came with everything to make it run including the security. Cheers

Sorry to bring this topic up again, I've got the correct ECU now and it plugs in to the engine loom properly, however I'm missing 3 plugs which I believe are from the body loom and I'm having a very very hard time tyring to find them. I've added an image highlighting the ECU sockets to show exactly what plugs I need, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

They can be tricky to find - head down to a local wreakers and search other late model toyotas and find some that match. Thats how I find them. Cheers
