Possibly ECM but there are other possibilities, such as a fuel pressure issue being as you were in that area. I would have it properly diagnosed before you have an expensive new ECM and other parts and still have the problem.

Sorry to hear about the problem. all i can say is to take it to a shop and as Geargrinder states get it diagnosed. This is a reason that EFI sucks. you cant work on it yourself. You have to pay, pay and pay some more.
