I don't know, but I would go ahead and check the spark plug then the spark plug wires, then the dizzy. If all those are good then its probably a bad ecu.

You can try hooking up another ecu real fast from a friends car and see if that gets your car to start, if it doesnt start then its most likely around your dizzy area.
