Could ECU be fried???

Ok my car wont start, when i jump the starter it cranks but theres no fuel....

Ignition is fine, starter wire is getting power up till fuse box where I cannot test any further....

Fuel pump is pumping...

Security system is off...

Fuses are OKAY...

Relays, how do I test a relay???

I know the car not getting any fuel could be cause of a bad computer, but does the computer control the starter in anyway? Also I got the codes and it gave me some weird codes I couldn't even figure out what they were.... I reset it but now I get 5/5(clear)......

if you turn your car to acc or start NOT on and the little security light to the left hand side stay's on its your computer same **** happend to me they thought it was my fuel pump so I changed that for nothing.

Were you driving when the car stopped on you?? I've had my chip fried before (death to JET) and the car just slowed to a stop. I personally dont know if you could fry the chip(i doubt that)...check other possibilities

The security light turns off when the keys on ACC... fuel pump turns on for a second and back off at acc.....

Just that the starter doesn't crank, I gave the starter direct power and it cranks fine but there seems to be no fuel, and no spark(not sure havn't checked).... only thing that can hold these things down is the computer right?

Even if the injectors are bad im still not able to crank the car.... There just not powered, either the computer is fried, or something else.... the security system works fine, key on ACC the light turns off...

I wonder if its your coil packs, spark plugs,battery,starter, alternator, could be a number of things if you hear your fuel pump it aint that and the security light comes off best thing to do is take your car to nissan they'll hook it up to a computer and tell you exactly what it is. Dont take it to auto zone cause nissan has a special computer for nissan's

I bet its your Starter. If not starter its your battery. If not your battery then its your alternator.
I say this just based on experience and everyone else's experience on this board. These 3 tend to go on every 95 max (eventually).
