Swapping ECUs

In trying to rule out my code problem, I swapped my ECU. I did the whole 30 minute thing with the jumper from 4 to 13. Everything went fine. Car started. Runs fine. P0341 came right back. Fine. ECU ruled out as problem.

RSM is coming out in November to fix what ever is wrong.

Now, I want to put my original ECU back in the car as it has my ECUTEK license on it.

Do I need to go back through the whole install procedure or just plug it in and go?

That poor OBDII connector. I don't think my ignition switch has seen that much action.

Because of crappy fit of the ECUTEK obd connector, I found this cable extension. I can't remember the brand (ithink maybe). It has a very snug fit for both ends. Just the way she likes it.

I got a extender like that and still had issues with it dropping connection when trying to log.
Just made it harder to disconnect and restart
