I just learned that instead of pulling the radio 7.5 fuse under the hood, I can toggle the ignition on off on off on to reset the check engine light. I was told this also makes the light blink a few times to let you know the engine code but mine didn’t blink. Is there a step I’m missing?

I don’t have a code scanner yet but here are some pics. Sensor which sits on the side of the throttle body.

So after some contemplating and research, I’m quite certain that what I tapped on was not the iacv but the tps. I might have damaged it but the thing that gets me is why does it drive fine after I reset the check engine light for an hour. Then when I shut it off for a bit and start it back up, the light and shuddering are back? If the tps is damaged, wouldnt it still shudder even after resetting the check engine light?
I just reset it and it drives fine… Its great for about and hour of driving time then the light comes on and it shudders and shakes again when giving a bit of gas. Then I reset check engine light and it’s fine again.

Thanks, yes I watched both vids again and I understand a bit better. I did the cooling system air purge again and now the idle no longer bounces. It now sits at 1500 and is mostly stable but with fluctuations intermittently. My check engine light came on and the car shook violently when giving a little gas. Runs ok when giving lots of gas or idle. I checked and one of the sensor plugs was loose from when I took the air filter housing off to tap what I thought was the iacv. This sensor plugs into that piece. I reset the engine check light by pulling out the radio fuse under the hood for a minute. The car then drove great and a little while later the light came back on and the car shudders hard when driving and trying to give a little gas again. Did I damage the sensor or whatever that piece is it is attached to? It is on the throttle body facing forward. tps?

So when I had the air filter housing off, I think it was the iacv but not sure, I banged it with a screw driver handle and nothing. I have no idea which one was the fiv. I just went to pinch off the pcv valve only to find I have no idea where it is. Seems I am not very good with this engine design. My other car is an 04 SiR and I love how the intake manifold, throttle body, pcv valve are right in front of my face when I open the hood.
