So we replaced the starter, Car started, ran out of gas during test,
didn't think to check gas as it sat there for 2 months! We decided to
fill up with gas and take the new "used" starter out to clean it up,
put it back in, CAR won't fire????

Checked Spark- good
Checked fuel pump- good
Checked Fuel injection points- they read accurately on the meter- good
It turns over-good
Fires- not good

We think we might have blown the ecu when we reinstalled the battery!
Is this possible? Would this be a symptom? Wouldn't there be other
symptoms? Would I notice the others if the car won't start?

How do I find the ecu? Read other posts but all I got was that it might
be on passenger under carpet, might be on driver! I don't really want
to rip up the carpet to find this damn thing. Or is it under the seats?
Is it in a box, what am I looking for?

Any help would be great, Grandpa is so proud to work on this with me,
but alas his knowledge is limited and so is mine!
Thanks

There is a fuse that prevents any unacceptable voltage
from going to the ECU. Its an 80 amp fuse under the hood.
I blew mine when I was screwing around with my alternator.
But nothing at all happened when I turned the key, as no
power was going anywhere.

PS. The ECU is usually in the passenger kick panel.
