Do not install an EA control module. (electronic accelerator) It is almost NEVER the problem even when the only code is "control module faulty". The electronic throttle body is typically the problem but needs to have a competent tech diagnose it first as it is a pretty expensive part too.

I'd recommend finding an good independant shop to take that car to as it is 16 years old and it's rare to find a 16 year tech at a dealer. Guys like that are in demand and most dealerships won't pay them what they are worth. To a lot of dealers, service is a necessary evil. They want to sell you a new car, not fix your old one. They tend to have a high turnover rate in the shop, which means younger inexperienced techs that are trained on cars 15 years newer than yours. To fix your car as cheaply as possible you need a tech who is familiar with those cars. There are a lot of pitfalls that can cost you a lot of money if they don't get it right the first time.
