Took the car to my independent mechanic.

He pulled the codes when I wasn't there and reported codes showed for:

• ETA
• Break Light switch
• Timing sensor (my words)

And he showed me the engine wire hardness should be replaced.

My next actions are to replace the wiring harness and the Electronic Throttle Actuator (ETA). Figured the ETA will need replaced - if it doesn't now.

This will be a slow project - especially since the car is not immediately needed. But will post pictures as progress is made.
