Check engine

My check engine llight is on. The mechanic told me that a selonoid overheated a transister in my computer. He was replaced the EGR but that didn't help. His parts guy, says he can't get the ECM and there are no aftermarket ones. I have a 1992 302 automatic. What are my options?

you need to find a better mechanic, preferably one with some kind of certification. you can buy an ecm for any ford at any decent parts house.
