ECM locator

I have a 92 F150 300 I6 which is having problems with it's ECM. It was recently replaced with one from a junk yard but is having problems staying running sometimes. It has proven difficult to find any other modules around here so I'm hoping there is some place online where one can buy such items. Any suggestions?

Are you sure it's the ECM itself that's having the problem? Is it throwing any codes? It may be something else in the engine bay that's failing/failed and is throwing the computer off.

Yep, I'm sure its the ECM. The engine was running perfectly before the original ECM died suddenly and the thing wouldn't crank. IT cranks with the junkyard unit and runs fairly well but has a tendency to want to die at stops or sometimes just runs like crap until I turn the key off and reset the ignition.
