ICV Diagnosis

Ok, my injectors got blocked by running bad gas after the car sat for a number of years. After getting them cleaned the car starts and runs, but strains to rev up. The best way to describe it is as if something is applying drag on the engine and its straining for power. I replaced the vacume hoses so I don't think it is a vacuum leak. While I had the intake off I cleaned the ICV with carb cleaner. If I start the car up and unplug the ICV the idle goes up to near normal level but still has the same bogging down issue. The car is running very rich and I get a poping sound from the intake when I rev it up. Car has barely the power to get down the road. And no codes come up except when I unplug the ICV.

Any ideas?

Thanks
