Plenty of options exist. When we choose not to learn basics, then compensate by moving plenty of green paper through wallets. It creates jobs. That's what paper is for. Compensates for not wanting to learn and compensates for labor. And so the term 'just compensation'.
Bottom line: simplest solution if one cannot check fluids in the radiator. Replace the Idle Air Control Valve. Just pay the money. DTC implies it is getting stuck as engine temperature changes. It does not necessarily explain the failure. But then other critical details (not provided) would probably define that or some other problem. Those details will not be forthcoming. So just replace the Idle Air Control Valve.
Only better techs would put an oscilloscope on the IACV wire. Then that problem could be observed. Most techs do not have sufficient knowledge and tools. And would be further stifled by insufficient details. What will they do? Replace the IACV - the shotgun solution.
Bottom line - that $800 spent on a new computer is gone. No way to recover that money - unless the dealer has a special place in his heart for Cloud. Move on. Replace the IAC valve (which was always my #1 suspect (considering almost no facts). A new valve has about a 65% chance of success - clearly the best option at this point. More money is the only remaining solution.
