No, obd 1 systems come with all the info from the factory when you purchase a new one. It should be a plug and play.

Most likely will not work. Each unit is made for the specific vehicle.

Check the part number on the box. Both should be identical. If P/N are different, it usually does not work correctly.

The problem could be mechanical instead of the ECM.
