Default Idle Control System problemo

alright so this is my delema..i have an 03 ex recently i had my oil changed..and a few days after my maitenance light comes on. The weekend comes up and I let my car sit in my driveway. I goto start it up sunday and it starts but bogs down. So i check my battery and the water level is down. Me and my dad fill the cells and the car starts and i run it for a while and the idle goes back to norm no cut off. Then my CEL comes on and still running alright so im like alright ill deal with it in the morning. I start my caar to go to work and its 71 degrees out and my cars idleling at 2k a little odd.. and it starts to fluctuate bt1k and 2k. So i decide to drive to work and rpms are fluctuating feels like the throttle may be sticking a little so i take my car to the shop the code came up p0505 idle control systems and p1505 and on the reciept here it says POS-crankcase ventilation. Anyone have similar problems or can give me any advice as far as what to do. The place told me to take it to a dealership and im not trying to throw away $$..

If anyne can help thatd be much appreciated.

Car needs a PCV valve and a throttle body cleaning. The valve is probably $5 and the cleaning involves removing the throttle and spraying the junk out.
