200 miles on fresh build. Went to start the car one day after it started up and drove beautiful previous day. Went to start the car day after and didn’t want to crank so I jumped it and it fired up no issues. Let it warm up and drove it 10 mins in the rain down the street before dying at a light in neutral. Pulled over and it wouldn’t crank or do anything. So I walked to Walmart a mile down the road got a battery, swap it in and now the car cranks but won’t turn over, temp gauge lights up and goes dead. Connect the car to a labtop and flash pro doesn’t detect ecu. Went thru all the fuses and relays and all seem good as well as the ground wires. Not sure as to where to check next

If you unplug the oxygen sensors, does it work?

I have not! But can try. The battery is dead at the moment but once it’s charged up I’ll try

So after you replaced the battery it went dead again right away?

Cranks but doesn’t turn over. Had my tuner come by and plug in his computer and he says it’s the ecu and that it’s fried

Are you talking about the new battery you just put in?

When you jumped it, did you connect the jumper wires incorrectly?

Did it ever run with the new battery?

I know it may be commonly overlooked but all connections were correct. I am a 3rd year electrical apprentice so I understand circuitry. Positive to positive negative to negative. Car started up after the jump no issues and drove 10 mins about after warming up. Died at a light in neutral on me. Hasn’t started back up since even with a new battery

I sourced an ecu local and was going to grab it later if he’s around and hope my tuner can come back out and program the key to the ecu and tune it again
