I have changed the spark plugs, the ECU, the distributor, the fuel pump and still with the same problem. When I put the new distributor it works great with more power, but then a few days later start the problem again. Right now it wont start. The lights on the dash are on, the horn, the lights everything, but it just tries to start but it wont. What else could be. Thanks!

First you will have to reset the security system if you can. If you replaced the ecm you will need a mechanic to program it to your car so it will run. Then scan for codes to see what original problem was to begin with.

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one from Amazon.com. Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.
