That's a good solution since the parts are not expensive and will cause a problem appear as if it's the ETA.

I would still recommend that you remove it . . . simply b/c you can really clean it better than you can on the car. The reason: wait until you try to start the car. . . nuff said.

I think that is a wise course of action b/c you are not getting the codes that generally "infer" a bad ETA.
