Unhappy sc300 rough idle then shuts off. Runs after ecu reset

So I took the sc300 out and pushed it a little hard maybe doing 80 for about 15 miles and when I reached my destination the car idled rough then shut off. The check engine light flashed for a quick second but so did all of the other lights so I don't know if it's real. Anyway In order to get home I removed the main relay for 3 minutes then replaced it and the car started and idled at 450-500. It was able to make it home but I didn't push it over 65.

I just had the alternator and battery replaced as well as the sparks and the cables and wires. I wish I could just find all the problems at once so I could have a reliable car for the next couple of years at least. =\

After some reading I think it might be the iacv. Is this something that can continue being fixed by an ecu reset for 2 weeks until I can get to a mechanic? Anyone?
