if the engine you get has a built in imobilizer you will also need the transponder chip form the key and the sensor round the key barrell the barrell sensor, ecu, and chip must all match up , ie be all from same car otherwise the car will just turn over and not start prolly also get a flashing engine managment light to say imobilizer has kicked in.
