Broke the damn ECU screw

Alright, one of my coils went - diagnosed by the fact that it is doing the samn damn thing it did the last time one went.

Anyway, I got some coils - and I wanted to see which coil exactly was bad by pulling the misfire code - more out of curiosity, so I could see what it read on an ohmeter as compared to the rest of the coils and the new (used) ones.

Well, I got the screw back, and then forward (the CEL is blinking) and then the screw pretty much disintegrated.

Well, the car starts fine - but with the key in the ingition in the on position - it just flashes the 0304(Knock Sensor) code, which is the only one I got out of it... (because I probably cleared the others in the process - who knows).

So, am I screwed here (pun intended)?

I did a quick search and noticed a couple of other people that did it - but nobody seemed overly concerned...

Thanks all

How much you want for it? Not that I really want to go through the hassle of changing the ECU unless it is necessary...
