This does not mean that your engine won`t run. It will, just not ideally. Correct me if I`m wrong. This "fried computer" thing sounds puzzling. It`s hard to imagine that the actuator and the computer both die at the same time... Did they show you the faulty actuator?
The shop claims that when an actuator fails, it often “fries” the Computer. But as I say, this car runs perfectly. Low rpm and high rpm. They are installing a used computer today and presumably the car will then stop throwing the 1341 CEL. I will be surprised if that works. I have asked for all the replaced parts so will receive the Old bank 1-3 actuator and the “fried” computer.
