ECU was bad...

So, this week has been hell. No car all week untill today. My car wouldnt even turn over and the dash would click and do all kinds of ****ed up things when i turned the ignition on, so I searched and searched. I found nothing at all. I tried a diff starter, changed out my power and ground wires, checked all grounds, changed main relay, hell I even unhooked my subs and amp. But today I reallized my ecu could be bad. It already said my baro sensor was bad ( which is inside the ecu ). So i took my old f22 ecu and swapped it into the floor... The car turned over with ease and didnt have one problem.

Easiest way without to much dicking around is getting a used ECU from other F or H series..

To know about the relay, you will hear a noticeable CLICK when the key is turned into position II. No click you'll get cranking but no fuel or ignition.
