Engine turns over but the car wont start. 700 1986

Hello all. I have a 1986 volvo 740 gle. The problem with tis ar is that it wont start. I took my car to a mechanic referred to me by my neighbor. After three weeks of constant phone calls and visits, he told me that the ECU did not have a ground connection (????) and told me that i would need to change it. When I went over the shop to get the part to be replaced, he gave me the radio amplifier instead of the ECU. Needless to say, we exchanged a few unpleasant words and that got me thinking if his diagnosis was right in the first place. Here are the things I have changed recently. The igniter module, the fuel pump relay and the ignition coil (the fuel pump fuse is functional). Also, the starter is rand new. However, when I had the starter changed, the mechanic told me that the old starter was functional, but the engine ground was not. Before that happened, the engine would not turn over to begin with, so I think the engine ground is okay. I am thinking about changing the ECU, but I thought I would start here. Thanks.
