Is it flooded?

Do you have fuel and spark?

sounds like you have a bad ground.. check main harness by drivers side shock tower, facing the spark plugs..You will see a bolt..thats the ground..being your from Canada its probadly rusted up...

ecu should not just fry for no reason..be sure you correct the problem before you install new ecu...

thnx for the reply. when i was testing my coils and cas i noticed the ground was bad and moved it to a clean spot, it wasn't even very secure where it was like it was loose so thats probably what caused it but gonna check some other stuff to to make sure nothing else is shorting or anything.
