Hopefully the thieves just unplugged it cleanly rather than cutting your wires. If the wires have to be spliced that's going to be a significant labor cost.

It's called the "engine computer", "ECM" (Engine Control Module), :etc. They are typically in the mid three figures in cost. Shop for a used one, you might get yours back.
