Man, this is the 3rd time I read of your exact problems after a spark plug change. Too much coincidence in my book.

As far as the idle valve, the typical symptom is erratic idle, especially when cold. Stalling and high idle are probably related to a bad idle valve too, but haven't heard of those, to be honest. What else did the stupid dealer do? Did they reflash you DME? Does engine feel smooth? That's why I prefer to do all services myself. I just got the oil change light, but will probably buy the kit and do it myself again. Good luck.
