Is the ICV the idle air control valve? I'll take a look at it.
Yes, they can get bunged up and the pipes can come loose. Just have a check of the electrical connection whilst there. If the valve looks suspect throw it in the bin and get a new one! Shame your not closer I would of said bring it round and a fresh pair of eyes may have got it running right. Try changing that filter too because of its done 80K that will be well past its sell by date. When you have drained it cut the can open with a hack saw, you will be horrified how bad it will be inside. Did you check the two little holes inside the throttle body that go to the brass nipple things were totally unblocked?
