Can a car start with a bad ecu?
Depending on what part of the ecu is bad, yes.
Car you drive a car with the ecu removed?
No. ECU generally stands for Engine Control Unit, i.e. the brain or nerve centre for engine. Without it - no go. With that said, not all cars have an ECU. An older car with a carburetor, old-fashioned distributor and all that will run quite happily entirely without anything even remotely similar to an ECU. A Diesel car may not have an ECU etc etc.

I replaced the engine in a 1997 firebird. When I tried to start the car something happened and the anti-theft engaged. Now the car won't start. What do I do now?
Many newer cars have anti-theft (and most car systems) in one control unit, including the engine control. If the car is now Fuel injected, I recommend replacing the original ECU (assuming the engines are compatible). If the engine is carburetted, you can still install the original ECU from the 97 engine, although I imagine you probably would have removed the wiring harness. You can try to get an aftermarket ECU or CMS unit that will maintain Antitheft, but there aren't many.
Is it possible to use another ecu from same category car instead of a damaged one?
No. The computers look for certain things. If they aren't there, or are in the wrong spot, the computer wont start the car. Its possible to use the ECU from the same car though

No. Anytime you swap ecu's make sure the numbers match and if you have the anti thief ignition or key with diode you will need to have the ecu reprogramed by a lock smith or dealer to get the car to start.
