i know the start up problem threads are gettin old. but my problems are slightly different

I have a 97 GST Spyder, about a week ago when i was on my way to lunch, I got in my car it started but it was runinng rough and turned off after just a couple of seconds. started again and did the same. I pushed the car a couple fo feet to a different parking spot and when I go in it gave it one more try and it started fine and drove fine.

The next day started right up in the morning but then at lunch time the same problem.

I changed the spark plugs, spark plug wire set and battery terminals checked the battery and all was normal. now after all that my car will not even start. The car attempts to start and I can feel it just need a litlle more power to start.. I took the new plugs out to re checked the gap and when I pulled the plugs they were wet....

any ideas??? suggestions?? your help will be greatly appreciated
 
i decided to give it another chance today and try to start it but after a few attempts my car just died..nothing electrical works...no blinkers, windows, lights or horn its just dead.

the battery is good has charge and tested...all the fuses on the engine bay and driver kickpanel are good..wtf??? can it be that my ECU blew???any ideas?
