It is most likely the PCM that is bad, but it could also be a problem in your wiring. You can get used PCM's on Ebay if that is how you want to go. Be sure that you have someone who knows how to diagnose these problems.
Extra water in the intake is not usually a good sign. It sometimes means that you have a bad intake manifold gasket and sometime means you have a bad head gasket.
