Depending on what year car it is you may be able to pick up another ecu for a couple of quid on ebay. Bought a spare for mine for £15... CHipped that one instead of my original.

If its just to check if its working may be a much cheaper option

What problems you having and what year / model car?

hi its an 98turbo it turns over but just wont start bypassed imm checked the wiring everything fine auto electrics traced it backed to the ecu well they reckon 99% thats the prob dont mind but just but for sale sign on it sods law

very rarely the ECU that's at fault unless you've shorted something out you shouldn't have.

What is actually the cause of the non starting, no spark or no fuel?

geryzfr1

when you turn the ignition on you hear chattering noise theres no spark 2 garages have been with the car now bit fed up now

Chattering... check under the drivers dash (get your head in the footwell and look up), have a look for two green plugs, if they are together... pull them apart..

No spark... have you got a signal from the crank sensor (the usual suspect)

i'll ask them 2moz if theyve checked the crank sensor

Sounds like Cam or Crank sensor failure
