Default IS300 ECU Question

I bought my first IS300 last week, a 2004 sadan. I got a great deal because someone stole some parts from it, so now i am trying to get it running again.. it seems someone stole everything from the ECU box, but the ECU. Can someone tell me what else belongs in there? I am not getting spark and i believe this is the reason. Thanks

There isn't anything else inside the box except for wiring plugs...

If you aren't getting spark, there is an igniter that sits just aft of the ecu box, between it and the upper shock mount... it is small, a few inches square, half an inch thick at most, and has a 8-10 pin connector that is 1 row... I would check and see if it is there first...

Thank you for the reply, the ignitor is indeed there. When the ECU is plugged in there is a few connectors that are left with no where to plug, as you can see in the picture, is this normal?

you are missing all of the body connectors it appears...

there are no other electronics in the box, just connections...

you need to get the rest of the connectors that go in the ECU box, from there, i dont know what else your missing?
try to get some more engine bay pics and maybe someone can spot out stuff that could be possibly missing.

here is a pic of the ecu box
