Default Weird Idle Problem..

my 6th gen 4cyl 2door 5spd accord started getting this weird idle problem after installing an intake. heres a video of it

VIDEO:

I thought it would be the intake so i put the stock one on and still does the same thing, ive checked for vaccum leaks but nothing.

BUT when i disconnect the map sensor ontop of the TB it seems to go back to normal until i restart the car. heres a pic for reference

PIC: also circled it in red...

Could this be the problem? please and THANKS

is the Idle Air Control valve the black cylinder type thing with a electrical connecter with 2 wires and 2 vaccum lines coming out of it? seen in the pic sort of under the strut tower bar?

Sounds to me like you knocked off a vacuum line somewhere during the install, and just haven't noticed the hose yet.
