first of all check to see if you are getting spark to the plugs and check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

Default RE: ecm

well i believe A50 denotes an AT ecu..

A52 denotes the MT ecu?

This much I know for certain
if you're running an AT ecu in a MT car, it won't start correctly (ECU will be looking for a "car is in park" sensor message, but obviously won't be receiving one)
and vise versa (ECU will look for "clutch is depressed" sensor message)
