Hi, thanks for writing in. There are a number of systems that your ECM controls. Be sure you are getting power to all of your critical components like fuel pump, injectors, coil packs, etc. Check to see if when cranking the car gets fuel. Do this by cranking it and then pulling a spark plug out to see if it is wet with fuel. Next check things like crank and cam sensors as these can cause the car to not produce a spark when not functioning properly as they contribute to proper timing.
