The issue is that the cars PCM/Computer is on the fritz. It started when the alternator went bad. I took it to the mechanic and he said it would need a new pcm/computer because it's no longer reading the signal from the alternator. He also said that it will eventually stop working. He said he can get a pcm/computer but ford would be the only one to program it. All in all it sounds the costs maybe a bit high for a fix. Just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. Any ideas or suggestions?

Have someone else look at it, I screwed up my battery connections replacing my battery cable-thought I fried my pcm. Took it to a shop, fixed my wiring mistake and everything was fine. He said pcm's are well protected.
