1995 Oldsmobile 88 Troubles Starting And Quitting While Driving

Three (3) years ago my car wouldn't start at all. Have changed the ECU (Brain), took out TDM (BCM) and replaced with module bought from a company that has no phone support so I have no support for that. I did install this ProModule and car starts but while driving, the car stops and no power (Steering, breaks, fuel... goes in "OFF" mode and shuts my car down. This scares me so I have not driven it until yesterday when taking it to a mechanic that has the code reader for this certian Oldsmobile 88. I have noticed that a lot, and I mean a lot of people are having Anti-theft problems with this 1995 year. I have spent a lot of money on this car and if I can't fix it soon, I am selling it. I dispise it but will not give up yet because I feel as though it might be a simple fix, just can't figure out what to fix. GMX should fix this year because if noone has had trouble yet, they will and it might cause a big acciident that hurts someone.
