I would verify all fuses and test out of ignition switch.

Yes, the ignition switch not only cranks engine, but provides power to Ignition circuits. I would get the Service Manual. It will save you or anyone who works on it, Time and Money. The Schematic will tell where power should be.

Check for codes. Does the Check Engine Light come on and go off when the ignition switch is turned to ON?

Clean the main ground to the ECM. If the ECM still acts funky, try testing for 5 reference volts at a key sensor. If none, or low, consider substituting a different ECM.

If the CEL stays on, when the ignition switch is turned to ON, attach a code reader to the Data Link Connector and tell us what codes were thrown.
