Too bad you're down in TX, I'm sure someone would be willing to come by and help.
Well, If all your fuses check out good, (IIRC, theres a starter fuse?) check the wiring around your fuse box?
Did you hear any pop or spark when you tried to put your stock ECU back on? Anything unusual? Did all you do was try to put the stock ECU in and crank?
When did the car "just die?" Was it before or after you tried to crank it, or was it after you plugged in the stock ECU? Need more info here.

Car was running before I switched back to stock ECU. When I plugged in the stock ECU, the motor wanted to crank but then it just won't turn. It almost seems like my battery died but it didn't.

maybe your starter is just dying.
It sometimes takes my car a few jiggles from on to start position several times before it cranks up. The connectors on the started could just be corroded over time, or your battery might just be really dying. Try jumping your car with another car or a battery booster to see if that helps.

Tried that too. I tried jumping it with a battery booster.

You know what? I don't think I heard any clicks. It could be the starter. I have a coilpack coming my way, when I get it I'll check to see if it's the starter. Thanks

You guys are right. My coils are not fried. I rechecked them again and I get resistance of 10 ohms on both coils. So definitely something else is wrong. My starter possibly gone bad at the same time. I just bought a new main fuse, so will have to investigate some more.

Congrats!!! My battery light was on dimly too. There is a capacitor that you can solder in to get rid of that issue. I'm on here through my iPhone at work, so when I get home I'll find a picture that you need. As for the idle, I never touched my idle screw ever. It is still the factory preset adjustment. I assume you calibrated your tps correctly?
