2008 6.4L Diesel dies seconds after starting - need help

So, I posted something about this already, but here's a little more info about what is going on. Since I have had the dealer work on it the problem is now more frequent. Basically every time I start it, the engine dies the first 5 or 6 tries. If I keep the RPM's up on it eventually it quits and runs fine.

They told me it needs a new ECM, but I am not convinced as they first two tries to fix it failed. They claim it is showing a low voltage code, but it wasn't a battery or electrical contact issue.

Anyone have any advice on this problem? If I do change out the ECM, is it easy to do myself? I don't want to just keep throwing money at it.

Thanks,
