Angry Reprogramming computer

Hi guys, any idea how much it will costs to have a computer programmed. Had a airbag delpoy, seems the computer is keeping the fuel from getting the car to start. I'm in the Dallas area so anyone that may no of a good place to get it reprogrammed would be highly helpful.

thanks

Been doing some checking on this for a while now. All fuses good, relays all replaced, and when adding in some starting fluid, it turned right over then just died. Seems like fuel is not being allowed to go to the engine and I did read somewhere that in the event of airbag deployment the computer gets hard coded to shut down the fuel being allowed to the engine.

Sorry for the dumb question. But do you hear the fuel pump turn on at key position 2?
