Like the title says, I'm wondering if no CEL on startup (bulb is new), a constant p0118 code even after new ECT sensor, and no a/c clutch engagement could be symptoms of a bad PCM. I get no cold air after a full recharge and leak-down test.

This is on my XP8 with 175k miles. Everything else otherwise seems fine on the truck.

If so, can I get a donor PCM from any 5.0 Explorer? Will PATS keys be an issue with the new PCM? Thanks
 






Bueller?
 






Just for future reference, a different PCM fixed all the issues I had. It's rare that a PCM goes bad but in my case it did. Ford doesn't sell them anymore so I had to get one at a junk yard with the same calibration code and needed Ford to do the reprogramming of PCM and the PATS keys.
