Trouble Shooting my '91 940 turbo (won't start) 900 1991

My car has died three times, the third was the charm and haven't been able to get it going since. The first two times it died; the first was in a touch free car wash and it just died, no sputtering or anything, the second was about ten minutes after a touch free car wash, I was driving and it started sputtering/no power/couldn't raise rpms, then died. The last time, it had been raining all day, I was driving late at night and the symptoms were similar to the second time when it died. The first two times I was able to "fix" (or so I thought) by unplugging plug wires and drying them out. Car started after taking a paper towel and wiping distributor cap and wires. The third time this didn't work. Towed car home and have changed rpm sensor and distributor cap. Fuel pump relay works/car is getting fuel to the injectors. It seems as though whatever tells the injectors to inject, isn't working. Going to swap out the brain to see if that works. Will a non-turbo brain work in a turbo, just to get it started? I have a turbo brain, but wanted to know if non-turbo would work anyways. Anyone have any suggestions or questions to further diagnos? Any help would be much appreciated.
