13. and much more little things

Now the car was runing good for a few mounths then a few months ago it starts missfire ans start to have issues one agian and the car idles very very ruff and has a knock from the lower half of the moter....

I have one machanic that has told me numrious times that my ECU is bad and that I need to go to jag to get a new one installed I do not want to do this if I do not have to because they want 4k for a new one.... could I buy a used one from the junk yard and get my key reprogramed to it????
