Year make and model and engine would help.
Why was computer switched?
Do you still have original computer?

The computer system for a 97 chev. express van 5.0 v8 is set up for bank 1 and bank 2 cats or sensors.
Better check your exhaust system for missing or bad cat and or 02 sensors.

Where computer has been switched the problem could be there.
If I was trying to fix it.
I would get it on a engine capable scanner and watch and check 02 sensor readings.
And make sure it has the right computer /prom set up.
Let us know how it goes.
