My curiosity couldn't stop me from opening it...

Need to do it again though as the fuel I have used wasn't enough, and very dirty now, but at least I know how it works...
Have greased all the plugs and connectors, so if that would be the issue, than that is solved for sure...

The gasket was in one piece, and from rubber .. so I just cleaned it with a bit of oil, and put it back, started it, and started up straight away......

Can't tell if the issue is solved, as I only drove it down the street...

Normally people have chronic issues with the ICV, so in your case only time will tell. I'm pretty confident things should be OK though.
