ECM Code Issue

[BoomTexan]

Hey yall, my fuel pump went out in my work parking lot this week, have looked at all the possible issues and it may be the ECM. I should probably be getting a new one anyways, the truck had an issue with water getting in the cab, and all the electricals are kinda bad. It has done this before, so I was ready with a second fuel pump, and it's not an issue with the fuel pump or fuel pump relay, which I replaced with a new one. Still will replace the ECM relay just to be sure, but in the chance it doesn't work, I'd like to get an ECM ordered tomorrow so I can fix it this weekend.

Anyways, opened it up and the code is E6PF-12A650-A2A. I can't find this anywhere, and there's only one on eBay for $250. Do yall know of any swaps I could do with a similar model #, or do I have to get the same one exactly? Any help would be appreciated, I'm a broke college student and would really not like to spend half a week's pay on this.

Incidentally, this is not the first time or the second time I've had a car break down on me in my work parking lot. I rebuilt my Mazda MX-3's engine in the back lot of my work over the fall.

That's should work and not too far from you. It's where I bought my transfer case. Guy answering the phone was a little odd in person, but they're honest people.

Any 86 2.9 Auto should be a drop in replacement. Here a couple 87 that should get you driving at least:

I have no idea why Car-Part.com thinks that the 2wd and 4wd are different. That's a separate module up into the 90's.

Edit: Anybody know why when I copied that from car-part the table was fine on the initial paste then went all wonky after I clicked post?

The only real differences in ECMs for these were manual or auto and cali or federal emissions.

After 87 there was no longer EGR or knock sensors, but those computers will work as well.
