   New starter, been through two batteries, cleaned alternator up, cleaned all earths Inc gearbox, cleaned plugs, coil pack ok.
   
   Starter clicks in, cranks once or twice then ecu dies and resets.
   
   
   Any idea?

   Check the crank sensor(front of gearbox)is the engine getting fuel through?

   If it was crank sensor the engine would turn over continuously just not fire up. Same with fuel.
   Check all ure main engine bay fuses.

   Check the battery cables are not corroded or swolen
   the exciter wire on the starter motor
   that the alternator is not seized up
   the engine will turn over by hand.

   Crap? U can completely unplug a crank sensor and the car will still turn over. Same with fuel relay under ecu.
   
   Just a quick question but probably checked already. But did u try inertia switch.
