Engine cuts P0106

My engine starts, runs stutters and dies.
I scanned and got a P0106 code. I have a parts car and switched the MAP so sorry which made no difference. Last thread suggested the next most likely culprit was the ecu. Change this car won't start. Now understand I need to hack ecu.
Any suggestions before I disappear down a rabbit hole?

So sorry = sensor!
 
Try crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. I have a 1.4 tdi and one day didn’t want to start, I was using easy start spray and was starting very easy ,without spray not at all ,changed all sorts even the crankshaft sensor with new but it was faulty , same as you i bought a spare car and after one year , when i was almost ready to replace the engine a friend of mine had a good diagnostic tool and came up as the crankshaft sensor, replaced that and started straight away. Hope that helps.

Thanks will give it a go. Probably easier than remapping an ECU!
 
If you change the ECU you need to adapt the new one, using VCDS. Otherwise the engine will only run for a second or two. If the engine doesn't run at all, the fault is not due to the ECU.

Runs and cuts after a few minutes on old ECU, doesn't run on ECU from donor vehicle
(pre VCDS editing).
