Default Possible ECU problem
My ECU was recently removed when my car was being painted. The paint shop placed my ECU back, but now the car will not start. It just cranks and will not turn over. Is this an ECU problem? They said that they will need one of their mechanics to reset the ECU. Does this sound right. I searched past post, but I was not able to find anyone with this issue.

Did they let the car sit with the key on before they started it back up.

remove the ECU. Reinstall. Turn in ACC mode (DON'T START) let sit for 3 min. THEN start.

Default when you turn the car into ACC mode after installing the ECU, it is doing a
throttle body adaptation.
