Won't start

My boy has a 90 olds delta 88 that wouldn't start the other day. It sat over night then started. He went to the gas station put some gas in it and it wouldn't start again. The mechanic pulled off a connector by the air intake and it started after that. He is going to put it on the computer. Any ideas what this might cost me........since my son only make minium wage???

My mechanic says it is the computer. They just put a used computer in it a month ago. I wonder if something is burning them up??? Anybody have and answer??

The ECM?? Used electrical parts are always risky. If it is indeed the ECM it shouldn't be much. 300 maybe.

ECM ?? I was just told it was the computer. They just replaced the last one a month ago. I should get a bill today. I'll let you know how much it is. Thanks for the reply.

That was not it. They are now saying it is the ignition control module. I am hoping they are not charging me 200 bucks for this 400 dollar car.
