I'd be wary of a mechanic saying the ecu is faulty - usually means they have run out of ideas in my limited experience.

I tried everything to get my engine to start only after taking out the plugs and borrowing a mates car and test ing each plug with a lead from the running engine did i find the problem..if they are soaked in fuel and fouled up they wont start even if you take out the fuel pump fuse and crank it all day.
Heat the plugs with a blowtorch or in an oven if they dont spark in the right place

Il be suprised if it is the ecu but fingers crossed for ya mate

i have tryed two ecu's but still no luck. i have had the spark plugs out seems that there is no fuel coming through to them. so i think may be fuel pump but the ecu says every thing is fine

think may have to ring a garge as need the car back on the road

i'm sure last time i was round i could smell/hear the fuel coming thru into the engine bay, so maybe its the injectors? ive got a few you could try....

Mate this is starting to ring bells, i had a very similar problem if not the same in the summer. Check all the wires going into the connection blocks down by your afm as i had to replace part of the ecu loom as i found one wire " white if im not mistaken" that had corroded and had broke off which was causing the injectors not to fire.

surely if the injectors are working you would hear them 'clicking' and you can check the pump is working by disconnecting the hose at the fuel filter and letting it run out into a bucket with the ignition on. I think you have to crank the engine with the fuel pump fuse out to relieve the pressure..i didn't and got covered in petrol which is not nice
