Most remove the computer completely with a carb swap as it no longer serves any purpose

You have so many unknowns and so many problems the only realistic fix would be to buy the factory service manual
then work through each ECM circuit to confirm it is correct and operational

Any help from here is only going to be a guess at best because we have no idea what has been done to your car previously.
We can only help if everything is stock config which you don't know it is
