96 E-150 4.9 Not Running

96 E-150 4.9L 256k Driving out of the garage running fine. Letting idle for a bit, all of a sudden barely idles, doesn't drive. Codes 118 (engine coolant temp sensor) 171 & 174 (system too lean bank 1 and 2) 385 (crankshaft position sensor) 500 (vehicle speed sensor) 1131 & 1151 (O2 sensor, vacuum leak, faulty ignition, fuel injector, ecm) Now won't start. No power on fuel pump, no spark. (fuel pump, coil, and relays for fuel pump and ecm are new or nearly new). No loose/cut wires or bad ground that I found. Removed ecm, did not notice any visual flaws. Anyone have any ideas? How to check ecm? Anything?

Just a quick follow-up. Decided to spend the money on a "new" ecm from Rock Auto. Arrived yesterday. Plugged in. Started right up.
