Have you checked the ECM's 'databus' plug for any shorts? I'd check for shorting to and from the ECM anyways. Make sure it has good power supply and ground lines as well...

======================== Did you check the battery and cables? You said it acts like the battery is dead. Do you mean it wont even crank?
Yeah I checked the battery has a full charge.Cables look ok.No wont crank at all.
How OK do they look. Pick them apart and clean them, battery cables, all grounds, grounding strap, any connectors on the starter....etc. Allot of times the rubber will hide some nasty white stuff underneath.

Picked thru the battery wires. They seemed fine.Gave up an took it to the neighborhood mechanic.He found a short in the injector-replaced it {$402}.Runs great.Thanks for the help!
