Car doesn't start
Long story...
There was a problem in TP sensor and the 'service engine soon' lights on.
I tried to set the computer and unplugged negative battery cable from the battery.
I should have put it back to the battery after 10 minutes, but I didn't.
I put the car in the parking lot almost for 8 hours.
Guess what...
after 8 hours of waiting, I put the negative cable back to the battery and turn the key box.
It didn't start.
It just 'pudle......pudle...pudlee....." like in the winter time.
So I thought the battery might be gone and I called the AAA for batter charge, but It was useless.
I am so upset...
what do I do?.
Guys...
Give me some answers...please

ECM is gone,... Need an advice
Hi,
I showed my car to a mechanic and he said that no signals are comming out from the ECM. It costs more than $300.
Can I replace the ECM myself?. is it hard?
What do you recommend ?. doing myself or paying 300?.
I should go back to the bodyshop within an hour...
Please advise me.
Thanks.

thank you....but.
Thank you guys.
I oped the dash board on the passenger side and found the silver box with three connector. Then, I got a new one from the Autozone and switched the PROM.
I hooked it to the car, but It won't start. Everything is the same.
Mechanic, Conrad, said I might get a wrong one from Autozone.
I am hopeless...
Nothing I can do now...what do I do?.

correct?
Conrad guy called me and said the computer generates different codes. So, the ECM that I replaced was correct. Thanks.
I will let you know what problem is...
By the way, could it be possible to break the computer and other things by simply taking out the negative battery
I don't know...

TP sensor...
Good news...
The mechanic said nothing was wrong with ECM. Stucked TP sensor was the problem.
They agreed wrong diagnosis and replaced the TP sensor for free, which I supposed to replace sooner or later.
The ECM that I replaced were returned to Autozone and I got the old one installed again.
Perfect!
With 70bucks, I replaced the Tp sensor and checked up the engine.
Thanks. guys.
