try trading with someone locally with a known good working ECU, otherwise i would say buy another ECU...

Of course all of the above applies, ONLY IF you are 100% positive your ECU is bad... Chances are however, your ECU is not bad, they rarely go bad

Start double checking your wiring

My rb25 doesn't have a light on the ecu, I though only the 20's did. Rotate your CAS sensor and check to make sure each plug is firing and each injector is firing. Look around the internet if you need help with that as I know there are a few write ups on it. My guess is you didn't power your coil as I had the same problem as most wiring write ups don't include this step.

You need to locate the power wire on the coil and then splice a wire into there and run it to a power source that get 12V when the key is in the ON, and START position. Bust out the volt meter for this one and its pretty simple.
