For further info, I never used this site before, I first replaced the ECU with another used one that was programmed to work on mine because the first one seemed to have stopped working completely. I replaced it because I needed to see if it would correct it. It seemed to have corrected it because it started and I drove it, which the first one wouldn't start it at all. I then also decided to replace the MAP sensor, which also controls everything, to make sure it was not that also. The one they gave me would let it run for 3 seconds then shut off. I tried it many times and then it shut off and wouldn't turn over at all. I reinstalled the initial one I replaced which worked. Now both do the same thing. It won't turn over at all. It is as if the MAP sensor ruined both the ECUs unless someone can tell me something else is now causing it. Remember, as I said, I replaced the original MAP sensor that used to work, with the new one. Motor is now completely not working with both.

Hello,

When you say it "wouldn't turn over at all" do you mean the engine starter is not working? or the engine is cranking but not running? We need to run the codes to give us a clue on what the problem is, here is a guide to help:

Also, when it stalls or won't start do you have a blinking security light? Please go over this video to help:
