You can do an ECU reset yourself. After reset check for error codes.

Here is the procedure for doing that. Something i would also do myself.

Classic (JECS) ECU Reset

Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature, turn engine off
Locate the two ECU connectors, located under the steering column and consist of a black plastic male and female connector, and a green male female connector
With the ignition OFF connect black to black and green to green.
Turn on ignition, do not start the engine, depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle, then return it to the half-throttle position and hold for a few seconds, and then release
Engine Check lamp turns on
Start engine and then drive for at least one minute, keeping road speed above 11 Km/h.
ECU is now re-set.
At this point the check engine light should start to flash the all clear signal (steady 1/2 second interval flashes). If the check engine light does not flash, or indicates some other sequence, there is a fault present in the system, and should be professionally checked for necessary repairs.
Stop the car and turn off the engine.
Disconnect the black and green connectors.
Job complete



Black and Green Connectors on Classic

Hope this helps.

Whatever you did to the IACV perhaps freed a stuck motor or valve. I did ask you in one of my previous posts on this thread if you cleaned the IACV out.

Glad you got to the root of it smile
