Check it has & keeps fuel pressure.

Agree might be fuel issue if it fires up using start ya bastard.

If ecu/memcal issue code should come up with fault check mode.

Usually after fault code check I'd be looking at f/pump or coil & ignition module.

Below is a diagram of the Data Link Connector. Same connector functions whether manual or auto. Interesting that you say there are only six wires going into the connector. I suspect that terminal 13 (SRS) isn't connected, which may explain why we need scan tools to get SRS (airbag) diagnostics, and can't use the paper clip bridgine method.

Is there any secret like you must turn ign on twice

If the check engine light doesn't light up with key on check that the engine loom is is plugged into the dash loom by the eco it may have come unplugged and the ecu isn't powering up
