Computer key?
If you mean you read the codes, and got something like an oxygen sensor code, that doesn't mean the oxygen sensor is bad....it could be giving a correct reading, and the problem is elsewhere. Like a rich oxygen sensor reading could be leaky injectors. A lean reading could be a vacuum leak. Etc.
