You need to make a decision regarding putting more money into a 20 year old Dodge. The money is probably better spent on a newer (and better) car.

you dont say how much time has passed since you replaced the ECM. if this was just done,Take it back to where you had it replaced. There may have been a problem when they installed it. There may be a warranty. If its been awhile, go to a car [arts store and have your codes read. may give you a place to start. Then you can decide if its worth fixing or not
