New ecm

I'm being told that i need a new ecm for my si. This happened because i pulled the fuel pump relay out and put my buddy's in, to test his relay, and it didnt work so i put mine back in and now the fuel pump isnt being primed and car doesnt start. Is this possible?! All the fuses have been checked and the ecm doesnt even communicate with any scanner.

Dealership wants about $400-500 for a new ecm, is hondata even an option at this point?

the relay was probably ****** up and fried something in the ecm. find a used one and hope it works, or pay the 500 beans. sorry

either way, your going to have to pay for programming the new ecu anyway, and that can cost UPTO $200... depending on what dealer you talk to. You need to program the keys and what not...
