I will post photos that may be helpful later, but it was basically a plug-and-play job once the fuel lines and fuel tank were out of the way.
One very important item of note is that the part number on the original ECU ends with "23" and that part has been replaced with one that looks identical, but has the last two numbers as "24."
For anyone who is interested, I got mine from Partzilla for $478 US and I have seen them advertised for as much as $700+ elsewhere. Shop around, don't buy the first one you see.
Good to hear! So, bottom line, what was it that made you determine ECU as opposed to IACV, which seems to have been the fix for a number of others? If that was already dealt with in another post, ignore me.

If that was already dealt with in another post, ignore me. Thanks for asking, pdedse. I replaced the IACV not long after it started and it seemed to help for about a week. So, in all fairness, I guess I should give this a week to see if it goes bad again. After spending over $700 to have the IACV replaced, only to have the problem quickly return, I was not ready to throw more money at it when Powerdubs said it was the ecu. But, Peterbaron wrote about the ecu reset and, when I tried it, it did help. The fast idle went away for awhile each time I reset the ecu. When it came back, it was not as bad as it had been, so I took that as a sign that it did have something to do with the ecu. I decided that $500 was about the same as a set of tires, so I took the plunge. It runs a lot better now than it has since I got it, so I am praying that the problem is solved. I do not know why others had success with the IACV, but suspect that there were other factors involved.
