2002 computer may not be compatible with the 2005 engine for some reason? But would think if all connections were the same,hooked up right,it would at least try to run. Think you really need to pick the brains of a Nissan tech on this one.. http://www.justanswer.com/nissan/

Yep that can cause a problem or two.. Glad you found the problem.. By the way are the cvt transmissions pretty dependable on the Altimas? Seems like they ought to be as many years as they've had em.. See enough of them on the roads.
