Mine has been sitting for 6 months now because of ALL these same issues. Last scan revealed a throttle position code. Somedays it will idle and drive perfect under lite throttle and no CEL...Other days it refuse to idle at all and runs on 4 cylinders and CEL is on...its a moody sombiatch but I am about to EbaY a reman ECU...Does anyone have a link to removal of my ECU?????

Thanks

Just to update, as expected, the ECU was the problem. Had it rebuilt for $179 and the car runs as well as or better than it did before.

Yes that is exactly what I did. It was a place in Florida. It is my father-in-law's car so he arranged the service and the payment through his ebay account, therefore I don't know what the seller's name is. If I recall they are in Ocala.
