On some modern cars, the ECM controls everything from timing to the fuel pump. Many others are not as reliant on it though. It depends on what type of car you have but if it's 2007 or newer, I doubt it would even turn over. If it's older and there's an issue with the ECM, you might notice it not to running as smoothly.
