I just bought a new ECU for a 2001 newer model 1.2 8V engine which is probably the same as your model. To program the ECU warm up the engine untill the electric engine fan comes on and then over rev the engine until the dashboard light goes out. no need to change ignition key switches or dooor locks. you may have to over rev the engine 5 or so times before the light goes out on the dashboard. this is the way Fiat program the ECU and charge lots of moeny to do it, while charging for new door keys locks and ignition switches. Try the above - it may work - its FREE...
