Noobz posted the link to the paper clip method in Post #4.

I’m going to reiterate what rednotch just said, if you cannot communicate with the ECU this is a problem and it needs to be fixed. You are throwing time and money at the car with a blind fold on.

i took it to my girls house cause her dad is a mechanic he said it’s nothing simple and that i need to do a compression test and if it low even putting oil into the cylinder he’s going to borrow a leak down test from his work.

I also agree with the others about ability to connect to the ECU. Even if you discover a mechanical problem by doing a compression test, you still need to obtain ability to communicate with the ECU. If you can’t, you need to figure out why and fix it.
