03 legacy stalling issue

[flippindabird]

the car was stalling at stops and finally did not start at all, i investigated the engine bay and found the IACV wiring harness to be badly mangled, so i soldered the wires back together and it still wouldnt start... my mother inlaw (the cars owner) took it to a mechanic who changed the iacv and checked all 4 of the injectors, and said "we cant find the problem we think its the computer" so now im searching ebay for a good used pcm but all i found was an "airbag computer" any help would be greatly appreciated we are a household of 3 working adults and we are down to 1 working vehicle (my 02 chevy truck ) if you guys need any additional info please let me know the car is an03 Legacy "L" model, auto with 135k

thanks in advance for any help
