You get spark?
Fuel pressure?
Any codes?
Car cranks ok?
How many miles on the engine?
What was it in the shop 4?

By "Computer Module" do you mean the ECM or the ignition module that sits underneath the coil pack?

What shop is it at?

Don't mean to sound like a ***** but lets start from the top (Yes/No)
Really just trying to help but the previous questions were not specifically answered.

Spark?

Fuel pressure?

Cranks fine?

Compression ok?

Does the ECM get power? (Single Orange wire from battery)
Are all the grounds connected below the AC compressor?

Jerryl is probably on the right track. Its probably a blown fusable link on the ECM. The little orange wire that comes off the positive battery cable is the ECMs power wire. That fuse can blow and give no power to the ECM. With no spark or fuel it has the be the ECM not getting power. Good luck getting it running. Also check all the fuses under the dash.

Jose,its probably the ecm fusible link that goes directly to the positive of the battery post. Like everyone here said, its a orange wire with a fusible link connector inbetween the wire...You may want to check that out first.. did you ever contact EJ @ conroe? he is very familiar with hot air TR. thanks
