Same problem im having, but once i do finally get it started and let it idle it will start straight away again if i turn it off. Is the spark pulse from the plugs supposed to be quick like the injectors or slow? I seem to be getting spark once a second. Seems slow to me.

There could be a number of issues causing that :- - The ignition timing is out - Air leak at intake or snorkel - Incorrect fuel pressure (too low) - Blown fuse(s) - Short or open circuit in wiring loom - Faulty EFI or fuel pump relay - Faulty ECU - Loss of compression (mechanical fault,i.e. blown head gasket , burnt or bent valve(s), incorrect valve timing) Note - You will have to isolate all those other faults listed before saying that the ECU is faulty.
