Default Starting issues

So Friday I got off of work, tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. After the 5th try or so it fired up. Had started multiple times since then. All is good right, WRONG ! Sunday morning on my way to work when The motor just shut off and wouldn't restart, everything else worked fine. And no codes. had it towed home and it has only started a few times since then.now it won't start at all No lights , no miss fires , no codes replaced the coolant temp sensor and the icm but still no luck. Battery is new plugs and coils are about year old. Any suggestions on what to try it test next would be great.

Update opened up my ecu box and went to grab the ecu and clicked everything under the hood started making noise check engine light came on and it started. There a code 18010.p1602. Bad ground?

My next question is would it throw a code for a bad relay?

Well it's the ECM. My brother has the same car and we swapped them and it started just fine ran like a champ. Guess I'll be on the hunt for a new one
