2nd time you have said the sc400 ecu is what goes bad and that is not correct.
I have had people pm'ing me asking if they should change their car's ecu to fix these sort or problems cause they read it will fix it, but you rarely see any cases of a bad 2jz or 1uz ecu (only really old 1j ecus have that problem).

It's almost always the Fuel pump ecu that goes bad, and it can happen on a 400 or a 300. that is what the OP fixed i take it with the bypass.

It's good to hear you got it working again. It's crazy how one small part like this can cause an entire care to not run.

take out back seat is first step. second step take off rear driver side panel. 3rd step fine the fatter green and fatter red/black wire on the little "ecu" thats underneath the panel and splice them together and taping off the remains
