short somewhere...your car will crank all day without the ecu because the ing. goes directly to the starter in which only needs + and - to work...if your car fires up without the ecu i would first call you a liar and then say your car is possesed!

I haven't heard of that ever happening before, but I know there was a service bulletin about the engine harness, look under the intake manifold (where the intake manifold bracket is) they had a problem with the harness rubbing the backet. Look for any broken wire or anything..

Re: my car is starting by itself (sihatch19)
Is it actually starting and running or just cranking? If its just cranking, the starter motor has a problem or something is bridging the connections on the starter.
