Default ecu

Are all the computers for the 2nd gens interchangable. Say my car is a 00 mtx and i get a 01 mtx ecu, will that work or does it have to be the same year? thanks.

from what ive heard a "chip" in a neon will not do any good and may actualy loose performance from it.

Correct, no "chips" work for any 2nd Gen Neon, however, the 00-02 people have the AF/x Race PCM's and all Neons have the option of MS.

Sounds good. Its cause im having so many electrical problem. I just put in a new altenator and it seemed to work sometimes, but i still get the battery light on the cluster sometimes. Im going to try to get a new battery today. Somehow my idle is lower sometimes, like if there isnt enough power, so i have a rough idle sometimes.

How do you figure this? There are several 03+ people with MS, and tons of 2nd Gen Neon owners with manual transmissions running MS.
