cleaning the throttle body helps matters only for a couple of months, but eventually the electronic components will fail. Since the module is part of the trottle body, you need a new unit, and software download to register the new module with the car's ECU to the tune of $1200.

Apparently, the new units are not any better and will fail again around 50k miles. Poor electronic design.

The '02 and newer ETMs appear to be more reliable and less troublesome, but they're still "new" (less than 50k miles), only time will tell.
