Re: starts and dies
Check your work. Why did you replace your ECM? What was the problem that led you to that conclusion? That's quite a list of parts. Were they all actually bad? What problem have you been chasing? I suspect that there is a problem with either your VATS system, or fuel pump control circuit that's causing it to start and stall.
Check fuel pressure, injector pulse. Check each as this problem is happening by watching them while the engine starts and as you let off the key to run. Does any of them drop off as soon as you release the key?

Vehicle Anti Theft System, or Passkey. It's a system that can disable the starter and the fuel injector control in the ECM if you try to start it with the wrong key or if it has a malfunction.
It sounds like someone's been throwing parts at this car trying to solve a problem. Has the start and stall been the issue all along? Perform the checks as I descibed them and tell us what you find.

Re: starts and dies
I've been through this more than once and every time I hope it's not the injectors. But it's always been the injectors. Take off the upper plenum and check the resistance on the injectors. They should all be around 13ohms give or take about 1 and they should all be more or less the same. If this isn't the case get a new set. But not GB remans from RockAuto!
