Well, here's what I see. I don't believe it to be the alternator either.
If, by removing the relay and jumping the two terminals, you get fuel....don't you think that the relay is the issue and not the ECU? The ECU isn't the endgame, it's the mediator, the middle man to most systems.

Sorry, but thats just way out in left feild of a bad guess. Cars will start and run just fine with a bad alternator if you jump them or have a good battery in them. It will just go dead after a short time of running.
thats why i asked him how he started it. most of the jumper boxes ive ever used are **** and loose there charge before you can even start the car. so i figured if the car started and ran when it was hooked to another car then it was the alternator, but thats not the case apparently

From what i understand it wont start, it just cranks over slow and the lights only dim.
It could be the alternator, if its locked up .. 3 weeks of sitting shouldnt hurt anything unless it froze up and the water pump cant turn.
