Default Bad ecm or psm ?

I got a 5.4 2 valve with about 200,000 miles on it. Its giving me tone of codes- po174,po171,po352,po302. Its misfiring and to be expected taking a lot of gas. The reason I think its the computer is I will change the 2ed coil and it'll run like a charm for a couple days then the misfire will comeback. And will also stop giving me all the codes. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that the battery light will flicker on and off every so often, The voltage is good and the battery is only 2 months old.

How about a vacuum leak by cylinder #2 and a dying alternator?

Battery light flickering when you get on it? It's the alternator going bad...
