Need advice with ECM - guys familiar with 2.7
Hello, i have a 2001 Dodge Stratus Sedan with a 2.7 engine, U 8-th digit.
The engine was bad in it so i finally got one and replaced it today, my problem is that the old engine had an EGR valve and the new one does not have one.
So since i had no way to wire the EGR i just used the non EGR exhaust manifold and the intake, now my check engine light is on constantly since, i assume, the ECU thinks that the EGR is unplugged.
My question, if i go back to pick n pull where i got the engine from, and get the ECU from the same car i got the engine from whch was a 2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, would that solve the EGR issue ?
If anyone has other advice as well, please let me know and thank you.

This is for the 02 sebring http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...control+module
This is for an 02 sedan

They're the same part number, so you may be able to get away with getting the sebrings ecu and having it reflashed. Or try plugging it in and see if it works.
Only issue I see is your car is an 01, the 01 ran a different ecu then the rest, so it may not work with the harness if that changed at all.

Wel, the computer did not work, it would have had to been taken to the dealer and they would program it for around $120 so i just went and took a wiring harness off another motor with am EGR valve and rewired everything, took about an hour so if anyone ever has this problem that would be the easiest way to go.
Now that i took care of that i am faced with a new problem, car is smoking gray/blue smoke from the exhaust and i can smell the oil inside the car when i am stopped completeley but when driving nothing.
I checked the compression and it is good, no oil in coolant and no cooland in oil. I put a new PCV valve on, checked every spark plug and they are free and clear of oil, only 2 had minor oil on the thread only, intake is nice and clean, throttle body is clean, check engine light is not on......I am stumped, and not sure what could cause this.....
Again any suggestions would help and thank you.
