Default ECM problem?

My 92 starts then dies immediately.
If I rap on the ECM it will start and run fine.
It will start and run a couple more times then goes back to starting and dying.
I had the ECM repaired. I was told there was loose solder.
Reinstalled the ECM but the problem persists.
Also the ASR warning light is on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would send it back to the place that repaired it. If rapping on it still works, something is loose.

Could be a connection problem then. Check all the pins on the harness. Instead of banging on the ECM, try moving the connectors a bit.

I sprayed all connections with electrical cleaner and it has been working ok for the past 3 days.
Hoping for the best.
