Default ECU issue?

My buddy has an 88 crx, it has a jdm motor in it, 1.5 sohc non-vtec. he had brake light issues so disconnected the batt to swap horn fuses since they are related? plugged batt back in and car wouldnt start. checked and ecu fuse was blown, so replaced fuse without disconnecting battery. car started and ran fine till 4k, then died off. he stopped on the side of the road, pulled the batt cable to reset the ecu, and after sitting for 1/2 hr it wont start, starter turns the motor but it wont fire. any ideas what may be going on? Sorry for the dumb question but I am a prelude guy.
