CEL and TCS OFF in Viggen

I left my '01 Viggen (55k miles) idling on the street as I flipped cars in the driveway. I got back in my Saab to pull in and noticed that the CEL and TCS OFF lights were on and the engine revs dropped to nothing without help would not hold an idle. I had to maintain engine revs with my foot to pull into the garage.
I called my local indy in the AM and brought the car in. The engine felt fine except when it was at idle (it was now idling around 500 rpms). I called the shop later in the day and was told that the throttle body was dirty and that caused the problem.
I picked up the car after the shop closed and soon after I pulled out of the shop, the CEL and TCS OFF lights came back on and now the engine is idling high at about 1600 to 2000 rpms. Again, the engine felt fine except when it was at idle.
I did a search and found some similar posts but am wondering if the problem is more than a dirty throttle body. Any thoughts? Should I bring it to a dealer? (it scares me to say that....)
