Default Car wouldnt start, NEED HELP!!

Hi guys, see if you guys have any idea whats wrong with the car...

Couple nights ago, My car just died in the middle of the road cuz of a dead battery. A friend of mine brought came to he rescue with a cable and another battery. My car started and I drove it home. The next day, I was planning to go change the battery, but the car wouldnt start even with the the external battery connected to the car... The car would crank normally, but just wouldnt start.... I went to buy another battery and I replaced the battery in the car to try again... But it still wouldnt start.
After cranking it for a while, I noticed that when I have my IGN on, the engine light wouldnt go off... usually it goes off after a couple seconds... My car runs a Hondata S300, so I decided to plug my laptop to the ECU to see what the engine light code was. After I plugged it in, I didnt see any codes displaying on the S Manager, and the engine light went off by itself when I had the IGN on... I didnt press anything on the S manager... All of a sudden I was able to start the car. I drove it for the day and everything seemed fine.... Then this morning when I wanted to start the car, it wouldnt start again... Then engine light was on again with IGN on....
I have yet to plug in my laptop to see if there are any codes cuz I dont have the tools to take out the ECU... Will take it out to plug my laptop in tomorrow morning...

Any idea whats wrong?

This morning, I plugged in the lap top to see why the engine light stayed on after I had the IGN on...
After plugging the laptop to the S300, the engine light turned off by itself again and I was able to start the car ... No idea whats happening...
One other thing I noticed is after I started the car... The S300 doesnt have any readings of the car...
No rpm, temp, IAT, etc... no readings at all...

Seems like an ECU problem?
