Ecu problems!!! Help!!

[Waz]

hello people, got abit of a funny problem. Car runs fine, then dont know for what reason but the engine management light turns on and the car loses all power and cuts out. Now i u go to start it, it will turn over but not actually start.
Now if i disconnect the ecu for about 5 mins reconnect it back the car will start first time! Now since i have had this problem the car is also misfiring.
Any ideas on what this problem could be? Or what i cud do to try & resolve it.

Any help would be apreciated. Thank u
