Default Weird Idle when cold!?!

Alright, just dropped a new motor in the accord and upon startup it revs up and down. up to like 3k and then back down. After about 5 minutes of this crap it idles normally. i was thinking IACV so i replaced it and it still does it. Any other ideas? Checked for vacuum leaks and found none. TIA

your sure all the vacuum lines are routed right? I had some messed up and my idle would bounce too, not as wide a range as yours but.
