Dodge products have peculiar wiring set-ups. If it has some type of voltmeter or voltage guage, make sure it works. Worked on one that had a burned wire that turned off entire car. Check grounds. Lastly, make sure you replaced with a good computer. Have to fork out money for machine diagnosis or have a friend. Won't be first time a person bought a bad part.

Did you do work or a "mechanic" at a shop.
What indication that computer was bad or was this an " I think the computer might be bad" diagnosis ? Do u have OBD, it should have a trouble code if so. Was the computer removed and installed correctly ? Usually there are instructions as "disconect battery, turn ignition off / on, connect in a certain sequence" or some sort of sequence.
Guesstimating costs people a lot of bucks and makes "mechanics" rich.
Always ask, "are you sure that is the problem" then when they answer say "If you are sure I make you a deal, I pay if it works or I pay parts only. no labor, if you wrong"
Best way to find honest "mechanlc"
Always go ASE certified, no guarantee but at least they have studied and passed a written test.

Did you check the ECM fuse and wires? Sounds like you have a bad fuse or broke wire somewhere. I will tell you another thing that is bad to go out on the dodge dakota is the ignition switch itself. That is the same results that you will get. no spark and no fuel. Just keep tapping on the switch to see if it will start. If it does replace the switch.

Try main relay. controls spark and fuel.
Some you can break the cover off and wedge something to hold the contacts together, to see if it works.
