Default PCM help!

My 2005 FX4 (5.4) was idling a bit rough, I thought it would be bad plug or something, dealer says it needs a new PCM and wants $1600!!
Anyone have a similar experience? any way to make this a cheaper repair??

Part of our fuel system is run thru a PC board in the back by the gas tank and it controls fuel pressure and flow. When it starts to fail it can do all sorts of weird stuff. And they are know to fail.........

No It doesn't quit, the revs just bounce around a lot. The CEL is on as well.

Deals is having a hard time getting the PCM tho, it's been a week and still waiting.
