Hi everyone,
I am currently having issues with my Mustang 2005 ENG:4.0_Liter, I hear a knocking noise under the hood every time I am at a stop light pressing the brake and yesterday it suddenly stalled and had to shift back to parking and turn it back on again, and not the first time that this happens.
I changed the EGR valve and cleaned the throttle body thinking these were the problems, but the same engine shaking continued. I've been having these issues for more than two months now, and can't figure out what it is.
Finally, I took it to the dealer today to get a diagnostic and they said the PCM Driver needed to be replaced; the thing is that they want to charge me quite a lot in my belief.
Labor - $455
Part - $951
Key - $30 (I declined, told them I had an extra)
Freight - $133 (They said to get the part as soon as possible)
The codes they found were P0401, P0059, and P0053 and the paper said DIAG FOUND BAD PCM DRIVER, NEEDS REPLACED PCM.
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could suggest anything to get this for cheaper then what they are charging me for. For example, I think this is the part I think needs replacement and seems to be much less expensive then what they want to charge me for it:

Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated!
