You could have a small sealed lead-acid battery to supply the ECU only, charged from the main car electrics via a diode, and possibly a resistor to limit the charging current. During cranking this would hold its volts cos it couldnt discharge into the starter motor. A relay would also be needed to isolate the ecu until the ignition key was turned on.

H'mmm
