A used computer is not a good replacement. The computer could be bad, a static discharge while replacing the computer could have damaged it. The coil could be bad. Does the computer communicate with a scan tool? Is there spark at the plugs? Is there fuel pressure at the Schrader valve? Computers are not reset, they are flashed (programed) for the vehicle they are installed in.

Mazda 6 2003 oil filter cover broke i fixed it and now the car wont start do i need to reset the computer

Dom you have a manual?
Even if you do not reset, the car should start (The Jeep Grand Cherokee start anyway), but maybe the Mazda won"t.
At the oil filter cover, did you find some wire, switch or something electrical?

Buick 1991 Regal. It starts fine...idles normallally...but when I start driving, as soon as I come to a stop, it dies.???

First if you did not reset the computer after you replaced the throttle position sensor then do so and if that fixed the problem.If it did not help then replace the coolant temperture sensor and the coolant level sensor then reset the computer.If you replace any sensor you have to reset the computer or the computer will not reconize it as being new and won't reset the perimeters for that sensor.

There is not a computer reset button installed on the car anywhere you need to have a computer that connects to the ecu on the car (the cars computer) with the computer attached you can reset codes or reset the computer.

Need to reset computer to start car or it won't start.

to reset the computer just take off a terminal on your car battery for 15 minutes, this will reset the system, if you have a standard stereo you need to remember or know the code incase it locks you out and asks you for one after.
