when your car drives like $hit...
Its hard to say because it can be anyhting since your ECU controls almost everything on your car
IE: ABS (BRAKES), FUEL MAP(FUEL), ETC....

What is the car doig that would make you think it is the ecu?
Its pretty rare that an ecu would go out.....only reasons I could think of really are that the ecu got soaked somehow (rare and nearly impossible) or you had a major power surge through your car.
It happens but it is so amazingly rare that I wonder if it is your ecu or possibly just a timing issue or electrical short somewhere in the car.

You have also checked all your fuses as well?
Do you have a friend close by with an Accord of the sae generation that you could take his ECU and plug it into your car? or perhaps a local tuner shop you are friendly with to test this out?
I dunno I have only ever heard of ECUs going out for extreme reasons...never just randomly failing:dunno:
