check the pin connectors on the ecu.. have read in autotech that sometimes they can become like "dry" connections, causeing a weird signal to the coil pack... just an idea...

your car runs on gas? check behind the drivers side footwell cover for a relay, if there is one there, make sure the black w/yellow stripe is still connected to both of them.
If there isnt one, i dont really know.

Also Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on so the cluster is on?

Sorry if i couldnt be of any more help...

How weak is the spark???

I would say it's the ECU, a mate of mine had a EF just died one day and had the same fault as you describe. I traced it back using a fluke multimeter and a gregory's manual schematic diagram. Took about 2hrs. ECU wasn't provide a good negative trigger to the 3 coil pack pins.
