I have a 2012 camaro lt and a few months ago I purchased a stage 1 Jet performance modular kit that attaches to the ECU. Well during installation, one of the pins broke off of the ecu. For now I have it rigged up so that a metal pin is touching the ECU allowing it to start and there are no codes being thrown, but I need to fix it. I have called around and every dealership thinks gives me the runaround. I purchased an ECU off ebay that came out of the exact same model car and made sure the numbers matched when buying. But when I installed it, the car wouldnt start. I assume I will need to flash the ecu but I had planned on reprogramming it after my upgrades were done. So I dont want to flash it now and then spend another 300 to 400 later to flash it again. I do have an OBD2 cable but I dont have the right software to do it myself. I was wondering if I can take the rom off my current ECU and flash it to the new ECU. Or if I can get a new rom thats tuned so I can flash it over. I cant use my modular kit until I get the ECU fixed. And my current upgrades are Jet performance mass airflow sensor, K&N typhoon cold air intake, and Flowmaster exhaust. Wanting to get it all fixed up so I wont have any problems in the future and I want to be able to use the performance module. If anyone has any input besides how stupid I am for messing it up, then please help me if you can.

Touching cars ECU is always a can of worms.
