Before you install another one check to make sure you dont have any bare wires exposed under the hood. Thats about the only thing I can think of that might burn them up.. You may need to take several hours and an ohm meter to check out wires and make sure they arent bare and touching some place. Good Luck!

Get a second opinion. from a different mechanic.

Im with n-gin.
Even a bare wire should not burn the ecu.
U may want to have the charging system checked out to be sure ur not over charging or spiking the battery which may be causing the problem!

I'm also agreeing with N-Gin... My bet is your mechanic is trying to soak as much money out of you as possible... considering PCM's send a failure code when they fry, and they can be bought used on ebay for $30-$50.... Dealer prices are outrageous.
