I don't think the computer will throw a code for itself. Just find one to try it out, before you go out buying one.

Originally posted by 952gntejc I think it has to be my computer but it is not throwing a code please help. It could be, but the only way to tell would be to troubleshoot it down. If all your wiring and fuses check out, you might try powering the fuel pump directly (as in direct power from battery on your own). If the pump primes then, you know it's something with the wiring or the electrical system. You could probably find a coil to swap out and try easier than an entire ECU, but then again, if it's the ECU, why did it go bad? Unless you can fix the cause, you will waste any resources you invest into a remedy.
Good luck with it.
