Was throwing several codes one was for the throttle position sensor. Another was a misfire on cylinder 2. Took it to the local mechanic he said the computer was bad and the only option is to get a $1,200 computer from Ford. Is this guy smoking crack? I literally went online and found several sites that sold computers for my truck for under $200. Not sure if it has the passive theft system on it pretty sure it doesn't. All these sites are saying their computers come flashed with your Vin code you give them. And that they are Plug and Play. Is that seriously all there is to it. If that's so I think I'll keep my money and tell him to just charge me a diagnostic fee
