Could my ECM cause this?

My car hasn't ran right for about a month now. First it was hesitating and had a surging idle. But for the past couple weeks it won't start. Here is a list of parts I've changed: coil, cap rotor, ignition module, wires, IAC, EGR, MAT, TPS, MAF, CTS, fuel filter, injectors and fuel pressure regulator diaphram. When I crank the car it will kinda sputter for a few seconds if I give it gas but it won't really start. I can smell alot of gas. I drained the oil once and there was a ton of gas in it. The fuel pressure is high and it drops of quickly. Thats why I changed the regulator diaphram but it still didn't help. Before I changed my old injectors I tried testing them and I blew my 10 amp injection fuse. I changed the fuse and since then the car won't start even after the new injectors. Did I hurt my ECM when I blew that fuse. Please help, I'm running out of parts to change.

Looks like you spent a lot of cash on sensors and injectors threw trial and error.
Not sure about your situation , but by a scanner for arond $200
and save some cash. Much better diagnostic tool then guessing.
