ECU wouldnt cause what you are discribing, lights would work and engine would crank but not fire if the ECU failed. Sounds like a main power feed/fuse or ground failed. Check the main fuses under the hood to ensure they are OK first, next check the large white wire on the key harness to see if it has power. If it does, start checking grounding points.

Good luck!
