First, pull the codes, then clean the idle control valve.

Have you tried cleaning the idle control valve?

Or about 15 quid at your local garage.

idle control valve without a doubt,
very easy to do & you'll get the 'sporty' acceleration back.

while you are there, clean out the breather pipes to the engine that go to
the same place.

designed to rip off stupid people don't you..
