yes, this is the case of a failed throttle body, in which case it needs replaced, the car is getting too much fuel causing the high idle. this needs replaced asap. you could proably find a small independant honda shop that could do the work for less.

Change your Thottle positioning Sensor. My 93 lesabre did the same thing and i changed the TPS and it stopped.

yes it can in the message center, there should be a lenghty section on it in the owners manuel

it is most likely defaulting to the electric motor due to the overheating to save the gas engine from damage.

Is the vehicle a four cylinder or V6, either way if what they stated to you is indeed the only problem, there are a few Mcgyver options open to you for far less than what they quoted. The lever itself is only a metal arm with a protruding ball type fitting for the cable. The leftmost cable is for the cruise control. I take it the bushing on the cable is worn or the rod itself has the lip damaged. Either way from in the hood snap the accelerator linkage a couple of times and watch how the cable comes off. A small tie strap between the cable and the end of the rod will probably solve your woes

Testimonial: "Thank you! I will check it out. They say the control arm has a "flat spot" causing the cable to slip off, thus no cruise control.?.?. "
