PCM question
I was having problems with my truck idling high and the P0505 code kept coming on even after I put in a new idle air control valve, and the check engine light would still pop up. So i took it into one of the local ford dealsrships to get a diagnosis on it, and they told me that there was a problem with the PCM, and that I would need a new one. The guy there told me the price for them to locate, install, and program a new one was going to be $450, and he said that it was going ot be difficult fo rthem to find one since hey done't make them anymore. So he recommened that I bought do some research and buy one and that they would install it and do the programming for $150. So my question is, do I need to get one from a ranger of the exact same year (1999), engine size (4cyl 2.5L), or could I get one from a ranger of a different year and engine type? Could I even get one from a mazda truck because I heard that they are pretty much the exact same? Thanks.
