Mechanic said the wires were touching from the o2 sensor and most likely messed up the pcm. Can u put a used pcm in it or does it have to be re programmed?

Here is how to change the PCM out which does not need to be pre-programmed BTW (HMAC300). You can get a rebuilt unit by searching google or ebay. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
