How about if you start from the beginning and describe what happened in detail so we can try and diagnose whats going on

Ok I got into a accident I slowly parted it back together starting with radiator and now transmission cooler got everything back on and ready to start but now trying to start it just turns never completely starts I checked for spark in one spark plug and got no spark I decided to drive up and get a autozone tester "cheap" when I tried to connect the computer to check for codes for the reason why my car won't turn over and it kept saying link error I spoke to a few ppl and they said that they think it is my ecu Is this true is it my ecu and if so can I just reset it or will I have to dump 900 dollars for a new one from the dealer

Get your car towed to a dealer and have them inspect it...don't keep buying cheap diag tools, or throwing more parts at it. You may end up spending more trying to get a quick fix...

Accident repairs may not always be as complete as you think. There may be something small that you may have missed or overlooked...not your fault, though...that's what happens sometimes with vehicles that have been in accidents.

Good luck...
