P0016 codes.

After doing some research on this it seems like the next step would be to replace the ECU.

My question is if I purchase a new OEM ECU, is it a direct "plug & play" deal, or does the new ECU need some programming to get up and running again? ]]> Engine, Exhaust, Transmission hotrod1442 https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155918 https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155917&goto=newpost Sat, 26 Sep 2026 13:38:31 GMT I bought my 13 BRZ last year. It sat for awhile while I was fixing somethings, but these problems have existed intermittently since I bought it.

Sometimes the transmission gets stuck in gear after it's been parked. Sometimes it's virtually impossible to get into neutral, other times it's just very stiff. Typically after that, it's pretty much impossible to get into gear. It just won't go. I can let the clutch out in neutral rev it up a little, clutch in, and it's like I'm hitting a wall. Usually after sitting/fidgeting for 15-20 seconds, it'll suddenly go into gear (usually 3rd or 4th) and then it will go in the rest of the gears fine.

I have an IRP shifter, and for awhile I thought it was related to that. After watching several install vids, and looking at how it's installed in my car, I'm having a hard time understanding how it could be related to the shifter itself.

I tried searching, but couldn't find much reference to this other than just the clunkiness that can exist shifting between 1st and 2nd, and it's definitely not that.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm planning on replacing the trans fluid this weekend to make sure it's not related to that somehow, or to see if there's any crazy shavings or anything in the fluid. Beyond that, I'm kind of at a loss. ]]> Engine, Exhaust, Transmission jpeaslee https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155917
