Sorry, I don't know of anyone around us that repairs them. When mine went bad, Autozone carried remanufactured ones for $100. That was 5-6 years ago though. Good luck
If you find any information in this fix, be sure to post back with an update as I've been seeing more and more ECMs failing lately and no real fix except taking your chance on eBay ones. Normally these computer's have had a very good reputation.
