When you do this swap, do use a rev up ecu or your old one?

If they didn't register the ECU then that could be the main problem right there.
Did you use your old harness or the harness that came with your rev-up?

The problem with swapping different versions of the VQ is the wiring is quite different. The ECM may even snap into place with the main harness, yet not be communicating with the BCM, ABS and other sensors. I'll bet even the OBD II post (that CONSULT plugs into) isn't wired in a way that allows the ECM to respond.

You might try to decipher the wiring of both harnesses to rewire them properly. You can find some of the diagrams in the FSM, but they may not be complete with all pin placements. This is a job that only a few mechanics are properly qualified for.
