Your going to have to give more info. What codes come up when you scan it? Where there any weird things going on when you last drove it? How did you check for spark and fuel?

it drove fine when i got it had to stop because it over heated but then started fine again. the only fault codes that came up was about a break light dont know the code number because it was done on my brothers computer i check that fuel was going through by disconecting the injectors to see if they were all working and checked spark by using spark plug tester

When you say it has a new ECU, was that before you bought it or has that been changed as an attempt to get it to start?

Compression? When it started after you brought it home, did it run well?
