Hard to say without being able to check it out in person. One thing you can do is completely go over all the lines in the engine bay and make sure there's no vacuum lines or connectors come loose. If the mechanic was in there only 2 weeks ago, he could of not fitted a line back up properly or knocked something loose.

just for any future reference. I spoke to my mechanic on the phone who isnt a toyota dealer but has service my prado every 10,000km from when i bought it at 30,000km and it is now 187,000km said it had gone into limp mode and to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and the computer will reset itself. I also spoke to the mechanic who worked on it 2 weeks ago who said code scan came up p2006 intake manifold runner control stuck and found carbon build up so pulled apart and cleaned plus cleaned airflow meter and sensor line. erased code and reset test drove and could not fault. egr valve the culprit. I am unsure whether to disconnect the battery until the toyota dealer has done a scan (which will cost a mint) just incase a code comes up which may be detrimental to the car if i keep driving it?
