My car misses and jerks/lunges when I reach cruising speed. It does not do this while accelerating or decelerating only when I let off the gas to maintain speed. I received a troubleshooting P0505 for Idle Air Control Valve Control circuit, would this cause the described problem?

  This is the code for a defective Idle Air Control Valve. I replace these often on Toyotas. The part is $275 and takes 1 hour to to replace.
