Any chance this is the culprit? Have my Bergvill scanner en route to put this to bed, hopefully. But never noticed the poor connection here and the damage to the heater tube that prevents it from sitting in properly.
That will impact your HVAC but not your idle. Or are you referring to a different problem? Meanwhile, I would re-insert your temp probe into the heater tube.

Yes, same idle. Problem is car idles fine, and also returns to idle fine, and yet I still get this BS.
It's pretty terrible; there's some DIY fixes list on here including using a business card to hold it in place. That said, it doesn't even do a good job with the pump; you've got to shove it into a place.
It's too big for normal useage, but too small for when you want to use the pump (that's what she said).

Just finished putting everything back together. I recleaned the new ISV I put in last week, and noted approximately the same amount of oil-ish liquid in it as the original. I kept going and pulled the ISV muffler, which I thoroughly cleaned (dirt or oil in there as well), the air flow sensor (that was pretty clean, little evidence of any oily residue in that, and the airbox. I cleaned all electrical connectors.
I have a feeling Spyderx was right originally in his assessment: the cruise control was gunking up the throttle return. I adjusted and played with it last time to no avail, but this time I pulled the connecting rod from the CC to the throttle, ensuring that it isn't causing my problems. I'm hopeful that is the solution, but I will wait until tomorrow to confirm.
I also, while in there, swapped my trunk struts. Pretty easy with the whole airbox out, and makes a world of difference. One of the old struts I pulled sounded like it had emphazema and I could compress it in my hands. The other looked like it was in decent shape, but got replaced anyway. Now my engine cover stands at attention even with the turbo wing on!
No, there shouldn't be oil inside your intake plenum. At some point in the past, your engine was over filled with oil and the excess oil comes up the oil vent tubes and goes into the intake. If your engine is not smoking, its ok to leave as is. You can clean it if you want to by taking off one side of the intake so you can reach in the clean it.
I figured as much, Rocket. Engine doesn't smoke at all (just passed CA smog!), so will probably leave for the time being. I guess I will find out if the CEL is resolved by disconnecting the CC, but I still wonder if lifting the back end when I swapped my wheels caused an artificial "overfill" or whether it is all coincidental. I'm guessing not as parking on some SF streets would have the same or greater "butt ups" angle and I'm sure they would have designed around that.

I used to work in SF and never had any problems. I also lift my car with the rear in the air. I doubt either of those caused your oil in the intake. If its not smoking, I would ignore it.
Hoping you get your scantool soon so you can isolate the problem.
Do I have to take my door panel off to replace a window switch or do they just pop out?
They pop out. Just pull straight. Pro-Tip:Grab a set of those yellow trim tools from harbor freight, very handy I use them all the time... Don't mar surfaces and help with pulling this stuff off.
