mine did that twice, i think my starter motor is on its way out.
stick it into reverse, get one half of you out of the car and rock it, then try the ignition.
if you have mates around then try a push start

Starter motor would never throw an ecu light.
Clicking noise means not enough juice in the battery to turn it.
Ecu light might have been something to do with not enough voltage for some sensor or other.
