Hi guys,
I have 2001 Kia Spectra manual transmission. After installing a new battery, the car never started. It cranks fine but it doesn't start. I don't get sparks at the plug. I took it to local mechanic who says the computer died on the car, I have to take it to a dealership to have it installed. My question is can I buy a working ECU on ebay and install it myself or does it need any programming? The car has manual transmission so I'm hoping this will be a simple swap job. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Gaurav
