It may be a slight chance that the throttlebody have fried the ECU, but I doubt it.
It is more likely a chance that the tech don't want to take the time to faulttrace and clear all the faultcodes.
He is right in that the newest ECU is easier to work with and to calibrate because of an extended software and a higher resistance to ghostcodes.
The first time I discovered the beauty of a newer ECU was when faulttracing one of the first TCS cars. The old ECU came back with several inconclusive faultcodes, and I couldn't find the problem.
I finally ordered a new ECU and plugged it in, that one came back with only one faultcode pointing toward the throttlebody. I replaced the throttle body and the car was cured.
I than reinstalled the old ECU and the car have been working perfect since than.
This though is for the 92 and early 93 in US. You might already have the newest ECU in your car depending on manufacturing date. But all that, the Mech can confirm by checking software numbers with the Tech2 scanner.
