Hi Yaris,

I don't have a pinout for the ECM, but if you are getting power to anywhere else in the car, you may want to check to make sure VATS is not being triggered. Also, the starter relay may be the culprit if you can't hear the starter click. Do you know if the battery is okay?

Put your idiot light on the exciter wire of the starter and see if that even gets a signal. If it does, it is the starter. If not, go backwards from the starter till you find it.
