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.
Not so rare if you are dumb like me. There was one time where I left my 89 Legend coupe out in the rain with the sunroof open and the autotranny wouldnt shift out of 1st no matter what i did. A few days later when the car dried out, everything was fine. Dunno what the deal was with that exactly, I cant recall where the ECU is in that car. . .
