When you say ecu light it should just flash the engine warning light. It will only work if it has been wired in correctly. You can tell this by puttin the ignition on and the EML should illumonate. If not then its not wired in.

As said if you turn the ignition on and the engine management light comes on,then goes out when you start the car you will be able to do the paperclip test. Find the right pins to bridge and the eml will flash in a sequence and you can work the code out from that.

could be a number of things then, throttle position sensor etc.

I would be suprised if it was the CTS as that was replaced not so long ago
