Default WTF!!! Fast Idle and CEL!?!

Okay, I just dropped $3,200.00 on an engine refresh including new coils, plugs, gaskets, seals, timing belt, the works; and tonight after a spirited drive from the office - at 5000RPM for a few seconds - I now have a fast idle and CEL on. This happened long after my quick overtake maneuver and while stopped at a red light. Any ideas before I VAG-COM the crap out of this thing and trade it on an Acura or MB?
By the way it too cold and dark out to do a VAG-COM now and besides, I'm tired and sleepy too. TIA

Pulled the codes and again Idle Air Reached Lower Learned New Value, and Idle Air Reached Upper Limit Learned New Value. Whacked it with a wrench and idle dropped back to normal. Cleaned out the Idle air valve it was full of muck!

True, but the Acura RL is kind of nice. Wifey likes it but I'm not crazy about Japanese cars...
