Default B16 idles fine until I hit the brakes. Surging idle.

Started my EG the other day with a surging idle. Turned it off and let it sit. Started it again without hitting the brake pedal and it idled fine.

The second I hit the brake pedal it started to surge between 800-1200 RPMS.

Any advice on where I should start?
