Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bad ecm?

ECM Bad????

Saturday I went to to start my 2000 man 5 spd and it would not crank, gauges come on, lamps and idiot lights okay. Lift pump doesnt run. It flashed a quick code but I didnt catch it in time. After a tow home I cycled the key and the only code I get is "P done". then back to odo, thats it. I put my hyper tech scan tool on the obdII and it says it cant find the vin or cant communicate with the computer. Tried another scan tool and pretty much the same thing.

So what does this lead too. Fried ECM? For several years the lift pump hasn't come on when the key is turned to the run position for a couple of seconds like it once did, but it will run if I bump the starter and I run about 13 psi normal driving.

Any Ideas?????

I hear you cant get a new ECM? Only option is rebuilt ones from some outfit out of Florida. From what i have heard, they are not having a very good success rate either. many of them come back not working any better.
