2G Car Wont Crank, ECU?

[BuNcHeSs]

I was recently having boost problems where once I hit 2500 rpms and started getting into to boost and I would lose all acceleration. Checked everything I could and since I live in Wisconsin and its below zero here I took it into a shop.
They suggested it was my MAF, swapped it and had the same problem. Drove for a a couple days then decided to put the old one back in. Took it back in and they said that it could be my ECU. Drove it for a couple weeks and now the car wont even start. I turn the key and its not even cranking, but my dash gauge reads vacuum. Could this be my ecu??

The ECU has nothing to do with the starter working. If it doesn't crank your looking at a starter system issue. If the cranks but doesn't fire or run it could be the ECU.

I have a 96 spdyer. Im having problems with it and would like some help. When i start the
car and press the gas it stalls out. If i restart the car it idles for 20
Seconds and stalls out. What could be causing this

First of all many shops just your money....

If its just a click you hear when you turn your key than it can be your starter.
Have you tried to compression start the car ? Also if you were having issues with your boost id suggest looking into your fuel and check for boost leaks. Make sure to have both fuel and spark.

Dreamer, a large enough boost leak will cause those symptoms. Tis the season for super cold rubber couplers or lines to fail.

Are you throwing any CEL's?

if youre turning the key and getting nothing.. check battery...check that connections are good..

I'm not throwing any codes constantly, some come and go. And it's only a oxygen sensor code which I replaced about 4 months ago. I shouldn't have any boost leak. I smoke and pressure tested it to about 15 psi and I'm running stock boost. But I haven't checked since it has been cold so I'll look into it. Thanks for all of your help guys!

Before were you having to jump start your car as well. Check your battery at autozone see if it is good. Then I would check your starter. When you turn the key do the lights slightly dim? For your stalling problem it could be a boost leak or it could be crank/cam angle sensor. If your car is OBD II then i would see if you could borrow a code reader. The code could be pending and/or intermittent.
