Help! Dead '97 Aero

First the car: a 1997 9000 Aero, USA spec.
Next a confession: I've messed with the Trionic computer, but I'm about 90% convinced that isn't the problem. Hopefully!
Now the problem: Car won't start. This just started at lunchtime today - car has taken me to work and back for about a month since I messed with the computer with no problems. The key thing (I think) is that when you turn the ignition on, there's no "check engine" light. Engine cranks well, battery is strong, etc. but seems like the Trionic is dead.
And finally the question! Does anyone out there know if the security system could cause this? I'm having a hell of a time determining *which* security system it has. I see a lot on this BBS about the "immobilizer" system, but my service manuals seem to imply that that system is only available on european-spec cars. I have noticed one strange thing with the alarm - when disarming, it flashes the lights 3 times - isn't 2 flashes normal? The owner's manual does not seem to say anything about this.
I have tried swapping out the Trionic computer for a spare one I have on hand, with no change in the symptoms.
Can anyone give me a clue what's going on here?
Thanks in advance,
Eric Law
