Bought van with about 107K miles about three months ago and it looked and ran great.
Now it idles very rough, sometimes quits without throttle.
Trusted mechanic looked at it for two weeks and is suspecting the ECU.
I want to keep the vehicle if repair is not ridiculously expensive. Is replacing the ECU with a remanuf/reprogrammed unit the next logical step?

Thanks,
Greg

Thanks for the answer back.

Trouble codes recorded by my mechanic in order of appearance:
P0351
P0353
P0352
P0302
P0206

I have no problem ordering a reman programmed ECU, I just want to have some confidence that a new ECU is the fix.

Thanks,
Greg

Was the wiring harness check ?
I would ohm the wiring harness between PCM and coil and also injector
check ASD relay
prior ordering the replacing the PCM

What do you mean by OHM the wiring harness. I dont understand the layman term.
