If the car's running I wouldn't recommend trying a reset until you get home. The ECU stores faults and makes adjustments, it's possible other adjustments have been made to counteract this (the idle is 1500 RPM) - it might work, but if it doesn't you're stuck until the ECU re-learns the faults.

Just my opinion of course, not everyone will agree.
