Im wondering if the wiring harness with multiple visual cracks in insulation and probably some shorts killed those circuits in the ECU. I wont be installing the new ECU until after I have a proper harness installed.
I also bought some brand new coil pack plugs with nice pigtails already installed from ebay for $33 to install to the replacement harness when it goes in.

Seem to remember there's a long thread on just the wiring around that part of the engine... having to open up the wiring, inspecting, re-insulating, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if a ground/crossed wire took out the pins in the ECM.

Found someone parting out a 2002, his harness is good. I haven't had any confirmation that they are compatible but I might be in luck. He said he would sell it to me and also sell a set of 4 strut assemblies (with Bilsteins) for only $200 so it's worth a shot. PLUS he is local to where I will be in a couple weeks.
Has my luck on this car turned around?

Really good deal. I got my for $1200. But i had replaced header/cat 2x o2 sensors, 2 front seats and rear seats all interior light bulbs also burned but i got those replaced to leds Changed all 4 door actuators hood supporter struts, 4 tires, used rear lca, upper control arms, lower control arms, rear shocks. Swap out 01+ taillights and inners.
Going to replace rear knuckle bushings, rear lower sway bar bushing, front and rear rotors and pads. Trunk lock. Timing belts since it is 250k miles. Maybe spark plugs and battery?
20 ins weds vishnu 20x9.5 +31 (3 lips) 20x10.5 +16 (4 lips) in garage waiting for tires and coilover 😆
