yeah could be the ECU. i had the same problem would start and idle for like 10 seconds and them just die. i had an extra ECU and swapped it and it raan fine. just find a local DSMer in your club to borrow an ECU from.

how long has it sat for? my car sat for 2 months and then it absolutely would not start. it would crank over fine though. i tried jumpstarting it tons of times and it wouldnt. i finally called a tow truck guy and he insisted on jump starting it. after 40 minutes of trying to jump start it and me calling the tow truck driver an idiot, it started.
needles to say i gave that tow truck driver a bigass tip and spent the rest of the day embarrassed...

it hasesnt sat at all... it wouldn't start for me when i came out of the pizza place so i had it towed... thought it was the exaust manifold cause i say the bolt broke off and when we went to start it it blew smoke from it so i replaced that and then it still wouldn't start.... thought it was my coil checked that and it was fine.... replaced the wires and plugs and tries to crank over but sputters for a few seconds and then dies. The cam angle sensor was replaced in the end of Apr.... it almost seems like it's now getting fuel...... but i pulled the plugs cranked it over to blow what ever was in there but it won't start... only thing is that i filled her up that morning and only drove about 10 miles on that tank and i was on empty when i filled it. and that is when it did it... any other ideas

ECU caps. You don't need a new ECU, just the $1.25 caps. (probably cheaper than that too.) Any stereo repair shop can replace them. www.digikey.com has them.
