95 CX 276,000 miles, no start [solved?]

I have had a recurring problem that I thought was fixed by replacing the fuel pump, then the FP relay. Now it cranks and seems to have no spark. Will replace old plugs, but doubt that will fix anything. Where now do I look? Main relay?

Turns out the ECU was not working. I pulled the battery cables for a half hour or so, and it started right up again. I know this is not a permanent fix, so I need to find a good ECU and have it programmed.

Is there anyone who rebuilds ECUs here? I found a post on fleabay that would rebuild and reprogram my bad one for $190

Not that I'm aware of. Worst case, a local junkyard should suffice.

Bad news. The ECU rebuilder in Illinois could not fix it, so I am now looking for a used ECU and hope it will plug and play.

OR

The ECU number is 37820-P05-L02 This fits and is programmed for 1995 civic with 1.5 engine and manual trans.

I believe it's plug and play, so you should be in luck there. Won't be too hard to find. I'm expecting there to be tons around from people who engine swapped theirs.
