Default '99 ACURA TL 3.2L rough bouncing idle (see video link)

http://youtu.be/zyZe_B8vtZY

I'm new here.. Any help, or if you can point me to a good thread, it would be appreciated..

The story: about 3 weeks ago, while driving, I noticed a squeeking sound, then my car started to over heat. I had a feeling the water pump gave way. I drove home, and when the temp needle got hot, I pulled over, let the engine cool a bit, then drive another 2 miles. Engine temp needle got hot again, pulled over, let the engine cool a bit. I turned the motor off at stop lights. Next day, started the car, and moved it to the curb. 2.5 weeks later, started the car, and the car ran with this rough bouncing idle problem. Mechanic came to the house to replace the water pump, timing, belt, serpentine belts, cam shaft seals, thermostat. Mechanic confirmed that the water pump indeed failed.

I thought the water pump replacement would fix the problem. I don't know where to start, so I added a pint of Sea Foam into a full tank of gas. Let her run for 10 minutes, then I made this video.

Desperately needing some advice right now. Any help is appreciated.

be cool peeps. tigerpause

update::: my friend replaced the Idle Air Control Valve, and car is back to norm.. The existing IAC was badly corroded and stuck. Thank you for your valuable input.
