Yes, I've changed mine.

The part cost about $1,200.

The early ('93-'95) throttle actuators fail mainly because the harness goes bad. The harness for the EA fails for the same reason that the engine wiring harnesses fail: flaking insulation.

Also, EA's have potentiometers that wear out over time.
