If you do a search on this board, you will find several posts that provide the resistance measurements for the 7 pin ETB connector. Which pins read faulty will tell yout what may be wrong internally. For motor resistance issues (pins 1,7), cleaning may prolong the life of the unit. I have rebuilt an ETB (cleaning the motor, reseating the brushes, etc.) and got almost another 2 years out of the unit. Eventually the motor becomes worn to the point it is not useable anymore. I managed to get my original ETB to last 270K miles. Based on your symptoms, I think an internal cleaning may prolong the life of your unit. Eventually you will have to bite the bullet and get a new ETB.
