if you could go to 8000RPM on the engine without the ECU forcing redline at ~7300 (Stock engine and computer), then you most likely had the GSR computer. Get a new GSR computer.

Computer failure is rare. If it worked before but now something is wrong, like not starting, usually the problem is somewhere else. That's not to say that computers don't go bad, but it shouldn't be the first part you replace trying to fix the car.

You do need the same type of computer that was intended for your engine for best performance.
