Quest idles rough and when accelerating and service engine light is flashing

Nobody can answer correctly until you (or let someone) read OBD code.

"Check Engine Light flashing" means there is (or are) potential error on system.
(Flashing = Potential. maybe temporally, stays on = permanent. need to fix)
there are 100s of error codes.

When you go Autozone or some autoparts store maybe AAA, they can connect "OBD code reader" and read error code for you for free.
You can buy cheap code reader under $30 for now and future use.

Code may show like P0301, it means misfire on #1 cylinder for example.
sometimes just gas cap not tight closed show error code.
Reading OBD error code is starting point .

Would an idle control valve cause a car not to accelerate?

no, idle air control valve is literally to control your idle speed.
what happen when you press on gas? car shakes, RPM goes up, or engine just bogs down?
