sooo, I tracked down my 2 spare PCM's, I plugged in the first one, fast idle picked up to a little over 2k rpms, then t started surging, ran like crap, and wanted to stall. I unplugged that PCM, and plugged in another one I had, I was able to take the car out for a drive for over 20 minutes, rpms were holding steady, it would rev as high as I wanted to go with it; It wasnt running great, but better than before, seemed to bog a little bit and didnt have full power but if I tried to cruise at a steady speed it would kinda lurch when I got on the gas, or let off the gas, no matter how gently or slowly I pressed the throttle it would do this lurch thing on me. Now Im really confused, 1 out of 3 PCM's gives totally different results, and I had this lurching problem once before, I replaced the throttle body to solve it. I'm baffled now, anyone got any suggestions?

Are all three ECUs identical or are they different types?
My apologies. When I read your first post, I thought the engine was only throwing misfire codes. You actually only have one misfire code (P0301) for cylinder 1, a MAP sensor code (P0107), and a fuel system code (P0172 = running rich). All have the potential to make the engine run poorly.
If the ECU that allows your engine to run best is also a match for your engine, then clear the ECU, run the engine, and then pull the codes again. Do all the same CEL codes repeat?
