Idling problem, post intake installation

[deuceforty]

so i installed a cheapo ebay CAI yesterday, and after the install it ran clean and well, i pushed it to see if i could notice a difference, it sounds better, but so far nothing noticeable.

here lies the problem, hopped in this morning, and went to start the car, it revved up, then dropped RPMs to near nothing then died... i thought "wtf..." tried it again and same thing... so i gave it a little accellerator play when i started it up and it choked a bit, but then idled perfectly, i even left it running for 5 minutes and it didnt die.. only on startup.. i ran a scan tool on it and it threw a P0505 code, which translates to an IAC error...

im thinking maybe i should clean the throttle body or the IAC ( idle air control) sensor... i recall touching it, but i didnt think it would affect it.. any thoughts?

oh i forgot to mention, the IAC adaptor that fits onto the MAF didnt exactly fit, so i could only screw in 2 bolts into i get a new one, causing an intake leak i guess... maybe thgat could be the caust?
