Coil pack and ECU questions

Hey everyone, I am new to all of this and am learning as I go, any information is helpful.

I have a 99’ 2.4L with a 2 coil pack ignition system. It has 285k miles on it. I am exploring swapping out the motor with another 2.4L with 50k on it. The nearest engine depot only has 2 types of motors, one with a distributor cap and one with a 4 coil pack ignition system. What I need to know is, is my stock ECU able to run a 4 coil pack motor or do I have to find an ECU from a vehicle that was programmed to run a 4 coil pack system? I hope this makes sense

Thanks, Chris

 

good question. I have an ecu for a 5 speed swap and never thought about this. it has no label...the seller said it was for my year and engine well find out

 

You can run the four coil pack motor if you put on your coil packs and valve cover

 

The bare engine with your engine harness and ECM will work.

Op since your new you might not have swapped everything over leading to frustration
