Welcome to2CarPros.
Have you checked to see what is missing, spark or fuel? Here is a link that will help guide you through the condition you have. Since you replaced the ECM and now it won't start at all, I would recheck all connections. Also, before you unplug or plug in the ECM, the battery must be disconnected.
Take a look through this link and let me know if anything in it helps. Also, let me know if you checked fuel pressure and for ignition spark.
