It may have been a fuel issue, but checking a plug is quick and easy.
1 and 4 are quite accessible with a 14 mm (9/16") deep socket.
Put the plug back in the boot, ground the prong and hit the start button.
If you have a strong spark, then you know it is a fuel issue (assuming piston & rings are intact and valves close).
Based upon your previous comments, I am sure that you knew that, but figured I would mention it for the possible benefit of others.
Probably never happen again, but my guess was too much fuel and that opening the throttle allowed more air to flow.
The throttle body is mechanically opened by the throttle cable, excluding operation of IACV for idle.
The timing of the injector pulse and duration is controlled by the ECM, based upon sensor input.
