P2070 = SSV stuck open.
Do an advanced search on P2070 or just see this thread by Jon316G.

If the valve is truly stuck, Seafoam will not release it.

If you watched my "Troubleshoot Intake Valves" video you'll see me moving it with my finger... that is the same spot you can use with a screwdriver.
Or (like in the video) you can use a vacuum hand pump on the actuator to cycle the valve.
I HIGHLY recommend you verify the valve is truly stuck before taking it out.

Yes you can take a long screwdriver and cycle the valve.

Possible it just got stuck for a little while, but IMO that kinda means it will be back. I think I would at least give it a good look even if you decide not to attempt removal and cleaning.
