Are you sure it's not spark but something like a bad fuel pump?

Does it show rpm. You will get spark even without an ecu plugged in. Put a sparkplug in the coil lead and earth it on the manifold and see if it has spark
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

it also does flicker some rpm but it also likes to drop connection whilst cranking. i have always found after long periods of time connected using tunerpro it doesnt like to stay connected and also when i try log and accelerate hard and rev it also likes to drop out but i rarley use tunerpro for modifying the bin whilst car is running i use the other writing software

Try a new relay it could be burnt and not feeding enough amps

Maybe check the electric pins in the ignition module plug just to rule it out. Sometimes the pins in the connector push back into the harness and don’t make contact with the module. Peel the rubber boot back and you should be able to see if its ok or not.
