OK before you start replacing the computer, try resetting it, disconnect the battery and leave it for 5 or 10 minutes and then reconnect it. When you start it up it will relearn the sensor timing etc. on the 2nd start it should run normally. I’m thinking it may have gotten stuck in the limp home mode, this normally only happens when the camshaft sensor is bad but, the jumping may have glitched the computer. It’s worth a try before you start replacing parts.
