Narrative:

Soon after starting an autothrottle VNAV descent on a STAR into dtw from oma, a vibration was felt throughout the airplane. The left engine turbine gas temperature was climbing toward 700 degrees and the fuel flow/hp/lp were all at normal VNAV readings. The left throttle was taken off autothrottle and reduced to idle. The turbine gas temperature stayed high. The engine was shut down. A coordinated change of destination was done through ATC to make a single-engine (uneventful) landing at mke. The fault was found to be a bad engine air control actuator. ATC and mke approach/tower coordination was professional and flawless.
