Uhmm... Get the #'s from the one you've already got, call a stealership, get the part #. I think...
Why do you think it's the computer? '95 what? Sport? etc...
Are You Sure it's the Comp? There's A LOT of other things to check, just wondering if you have. There's no reason to spend like that if you don't have to, ya know?

Yeah, check out other possibilities if you can. I have not had a computer issue on either one of my 01"s but I did have one replaced on a 96 LeSabre and it cost $750.00!
Good Luck!

Don't hear much about the various ECUs, what is the problem?

I forgot to add to my previous post, the problem that led to a new computer in the 96 LeSabre was the car was "idling" at 60 miles per hour.

Dealer told me I had to have the exact matching part #(computer) or it wouldnt work. They wanted $430. I called 37 junkyards, visited 3, and found one matching part #. $100 dollars later, my jeep runs great again.
By the way all this started by hooking up jumper cables backwards. Blew every fuse and relay in the darn thing, along with the computer. pretty stupid!

Oh yeh, I have heard of that before.
Basic: Hook jumper cable red to positive cable and the negative (black) to the engine not the battery. When a spark occurs it will not ignite the hydrogen gas that might be emmited from the battery.
