Certainly wouldn't hurt to cut open the ETA's cable to check. . . however, his EA is dead b/c it won't idle. Granted that the EA is not a normal failure when the ETA goes bad, but we are now dealing with his problem!
If the car won't stay running, the EA is the most likely the culprit, IMO. That needs to be fixed first . . .or together (with the ETA) but JUST fixing the ETA will NOT fix his problem.
