Hi there. When you had the computer shipped to you, first thing to ask is if the computer was programmed to your vehicle. If the vehicle was no programmed, you will have to get it programmed at a dealership. If the computer was programmed, then check all of the connections to the computer and make sure that the grounds are hooked up. Check the battery cables to see if they are tight and clean. Check the wire connections to the starter solenoid on the starter and make sure that they are tight and clean. If you need further assistance with the no start situation after replacing the computer, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
