Maintenance/Repairs

After taking my car to the Toyota dealer to troubleshoot a car-starting issue, they told me that I needed to replace the ECM. As they wanted $1,100 installed, I told them I’d take the car back and try to figure something out. I bought a used ECM and just tried to install it. My question to anyone who can tell me, the installed ECM has a number associated to it (TN175200-7580) disagrees with one number of the used one I acquired (TN175200-7581), despite the seller indicating to me that it came from the same type of car I have (2001 Toyota Solara V6) - should this make a difference? The other funny this is, I look up my number on the web and come up with nothing, but I look up the number I received and it indicates the type of car that have. Any advice would be appreciated.
