That's pretty much what I'm thinking, hopefully getting the correct ECU installed fixes the problem. The problem is all the locksmiths around me want $250-$300 to flash the new ECU to the key and immobilizer. The dealer will do it for $135 plus tax but I'm hesitant to take it to them because my last experience trying to get an ECU flashed there a few years ago was very negative.
