check the plug for the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve)... you may have pulled on the harness and unplugged it... if that doesn't help your next step is to clean the IACV... what year integra do you have?

you can take it off and spray brake cleaner into it... after you do that make sure there's no breaks in the TB gasket... then with the car on spray brake cleaner into the smaller hole in the TB that leads to the IACV... I only say that because some people say it's better to clean it while it's functioning
