Default is my computer gone what are the classic signs

i have a 1994 camaro with the v6 in it.i noticed it was over heating so i changed the thermostat and guss what it wasnt that so i changed the relay and it wasnt that so i noticed the fans were not coming on so i took the fan out and hitched it to a battery and it was running fine so i reinstalled it and checked all the wires they are all fine i ran current through them all from the computer to the fan and it was also fine so it leaves me to belive it is the computer itself i used a voltige check thing and with the car turned on and running hot it sends no signal and now it starts hard i have to keep turning it over for like 20 mins to get it started so do u think it is the computer cuse i realy hope so

Like craby said, there are two engine temp sensors on your car. One for the gauge, and the other for the computer.
