Blue goes to the ignition accessory circuit.....use a multimeter to find which wire is live when you turn key to Acc then use that for blue, The ignition wire which is live all the time is used for the Red. And the wire that starts the car is the Yellow.

Do you have the make/model or a link to where you got it from??

How are you testing it after fitting?? Mine does not work until the engine has been running for a minimum of 5mins

no it goes to ignition wires it has nothing to do with ecu....try gettin g a harness for it so all you need to do is just unplug and plug harness.
