I have a 1990 buick century v6 3.3l a while back the service engine light kept coming on so I ran a diagnostic on it and it came up fault 26 in the computer. I recently switched computers on the car with one I got from a scrap yard. My question is do I switch the computer chip from my old car to the new computer or leave it alone? Any help is appreciated thanks.

It was the computer because like I said in the summary of the problem the old computer was reading a code 26 which is a quad module circuit inside the computer. That's why I switched the computers out but I asked on here what do I do with the computer chip from my old computer? Does it get put in the new computer I got or not?
