Hi Guys!

I have a 2003 Max Titanium with the fly by wire TB.
I recently burned out the ECM because Front Motor Mount.
Yeah I read about it after I got the thing but forgot to discon the plug.

Is this IACV prone to shorting?
Or should I just bypass the lines anyway?
I read about it somewhere but the details are foggy after googling all day, and would like to stick one in before the ECU shows up if necessary.
I don't think it is but...

Also, can I relearn the ECM and key(s) with the Consult freeware and cable/laptop??

Thanks!

You car (and all other 5.5 Gens aka 3.5L Maximas) does not have an IACV. It doesn't need it - it has an electronic throttle control.

Thanks.
Suffering from info overload on this.

ECU here today. Yay....key programming coming up.

Update.
Drove it over to the locksmith and it ran fine with the fried Mosfet, even though the pedal was a little squishy.

Pulled the bad ECU, swapped in the new/used one when I got there.
Had the keys programmed and it took the guy about 2 minutes.
Started right up, idles rock solid, and runs like a raped ape.
Didn't have to reset the idle or anything.

As a bonus, the P1456* code that has been driving me nuts is gone.
