The ECM is short for Electronic Control Module and is a computer that is designed to monitor the component it belongs to. An engine ECM monitors emissions, fuel, air, speed, temperatures and has limits programed that keep horsepower and fueling in check mainly for emission purposes. It can also alert operator of any loop errors, Ie: check engine light elerts you when ECM detects loop error such as oil pressure low or catylst malfunction.
It can.
Assuming you mean ECM (Engine Control Module), it varies from car to car. We need to know the year, make, model and engine of the vehicle you question.
The cps other wise know as crank position sensor shows the ecm that the engine is turning over and then the ecm turns on the spark and the fuel to allow the car to start. If the cps is bad the ecm won't see the engine turning over so in turn it won't allow fuel our spark.
It may be that the engine coolant temprature sensor has gone faulty. It may well be sending the wrong signal to the ECM causing the ECM to think the engine is hot when in fact the engine is cold.

is a Electronic Computer Module=== computer for your car!!!
It can.
Engine Control Module.
The ecm (engine control module) controls the engine functions based on the information it receives from various sensors.
It would depend on the make and model of the car
Bad ecm
What year is the car?
ECM means Engine Control Module. It is the car's computer and controls ignition, spark, timing, emissions etc. A vital part of the car.
you will find ECM center front (inside car ) on the floor hide by black plastic.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) or sometimes called the ECU is what the layman would call the computer. It manages many systems in a car depending on the manufacture. It controls the fuel/air mixture, and all emissions controls in the vehicle. It can control other aspects of the vehicle. Without the ECM your car would not run.
You should have your ECM changed so that you are not using too much gas. If you don't switch out your ECM your car will get worse and drink more gas.
