Default pcm wiring loose please help!!!!

i bought a "refurbished" pcm from orileys about 2 weeks ago. plugged it and it worked great, but its been randomly stalling out on me. i figured that while the jeep is running. i can wiggle the wires just a little bit and it will stall out the jeep!
everything looks good, im not sure if it is the connector or the pcm! any advice would be greatly appreciated

Disconnect the battery,
remove the connectors from the PCM,
clean the green fungi off with wd40 or plastic safe contact cleaner & a wire brush,
reinstall PCM connectors & battery cable,
fire it up.

Makes you wonder if that wasn't the initial problem, doesn't it?

Yes. And it came to me in a dream when I worked for a Jeep dealer, about the time Renix came about..............
