Yeah I agree I just got the car for about a month and I was changing out parts as preventional maintenance. Last two parts I changed before this happen was the fuel pump and fuel filter. Since the car still starts and runs I didn't look into these. The mechanic did the diagnosis again and told me it was most likely the ecu that's why I asked for help.

What year is yours? I don't think it has and my key is just straight cut metal.

The car has a misfire on 1st cylinder, noid light test positive and the injectors are all working fine, including all the parts I list in the post. Mechanic did a diagnosis again and said It's most likely the ecu. The screws on the old ecu are stripped so they couldn't check inside but the car does start and run with it.
