Take it to autozone. They scan SES codes for free and tell you exactly what is wrong. Bring that info to a shop and have them fix that, and that only.

You got taken for a ride on replacing your computer. That shop ripped you bad. If your computer was bad, nothing on your car would work. (at least I think)

You need to find out what the code(s) is to help nail it down. You CAN'T go to autozone and get it read - the '95 has an OBDII DLC port, but OBDI PCM. Hope they didn't tell you the PCM was bad because they were using the wrong scanner. Needs to be scanned with an OBDI tool.
