Yes, I think so. . . without the car being able to 'run' (idle, etc), you can NEVER diagnose other problems.

Of course, I say that as a person concerned with your wallet. You could replace the EA ***AND*** the ETA and you probably be good to go. But you (and the all of us) are trying to get you fixed w/o opening up Fort Knox.

Try a junk yard for replacements for both units. . .maybe you'll get lucky???
