do you no think if it was my idle control valve my engine light would come on my dash board

I would suggest idle control valve also, and it does not necassarily have to throw up a fault code, also check all engine breathers for split hoses. The idle valve gums up so a good clean with carb cleaner usually works.

No.

Idle control valve , as suggested , seems very popular tonight .
