Rockauto has them, expensive though. I've ordered parts through rockauto for my '93 splash and I'd say you can trust them. Here's a link if it'll let me post one: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...cal,engine+control+module+(ecm+computer),2896
I have no idea how to choose the correct one.

So I found someone within 2 hours of my house that has a 99 2.5 but it's and automatic! I would assume the ecm would work, with the only difference is the transmission! Any input?

I've read about auto to manual swaps. By what I've read, the computer should work as long as pinouts/connectors are the same. The only issue I'd see if everything matches up is the money light coming on for lack of tranny shift and lockout solenoids.
