FFS I'm sick of hearing people complain about Ecotec engines.
At the end of the day, yes they ARE tuneable, and yes problems do happen with them - same as ANY OTHER ENGINE! 
If you have a car, you have to maintain it. Problems only come about because of eventual wear of components, or lack of maintenance, simple as that.
Nothing lasts forever!

most parts that make an engine ecotec would be replaced by any serious tuner

The only thing that would probably stay is the block, even then the internals would probably be replaced!

dont need to remove the 10mm bolt to get the cable off. just unscrew the shroud that covers the cable. you only need to remove the 10mm bolt if you want to take the speedo unit out.
