    . Remove and fully charge the battery. AutoZone will do this for free.

    . Clean battery terminals and cable connections. Ensure they are tight.

    . Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Does the CEL come on and go off after 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II)?

    That's very material information. If the ECM was not an exact part no. match, there's a strong probability your problem resides there. Did you disconnect the negative battery cable, before working on the ECM and main relay?
