The Ecu is on the passenger side floor board underneath the carpet, from what I remember. Who checked the alternator and battery? Were they reputable? You say the car revs up and down and eventually shuts off, so it doesnt stay running? If it doesnt stay running you could have a bad distributer, but then again you say it is getting spark.....hmmmm. Did it sit for a long time without being ran? It could have bad gas or the fuel filter could be clogged. It could be any number of things. Wow I guess I wasnt that much help. Sorry
