Default D15B7 surging idle

So here's my story.
The motor has been running fine for months.
Earlier this week I poured some oil in, but forgot to put the cap back on... Anyway, even with the oil cap off, the car was running just fine. The next morning I realize I forgot to put it on, so I do so and go to work. That's when problems started. Idle jumps from 500 to 2500. Most threads around here point to IACV and I realize that. I just want to know if you guys have any other ideas, since it started after my engine bay got sprayed with oil coming out the open oil filler.

Try cleaning and adjusting the FITV.

there were no CEL. Just a surging idle.
I cleaned the IACV, and also tried a different one with no better results.
Next step is the FITV I guess?

Just in case someone runs a search for a similar issue...
FITV turned out to be the cause.
When I pulled it off the motor, parts inside were simply wiggling around. I did not have to open it and put it back together since I have a parts motor sitting in the garage. I just swapped the part.
