Great question. Turns out -- after 2 hours of confirming this - that a PCM and an ECM are the same. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the early name, updated by Ford in the mid 90s to Engine Control Module (ECM). When you go on ebay or a parts website you'll search for ECMs for your model, year and engine size.
All ECMs are programmed for year, engine size, transmission and emission control standards so you'll need a match. Getting your ECM code and finding one like is one of those things you'll probably need expert help with ... an ECM replacement project is not for the faint of heart.
