You touched something you weren't supposed to...
Do you have a pic?
You might've kinked a coolant line or touched the throttle cable by accident...

Did this start when the weather started to get colder? Does it go away when the car gets fully warmed up?

check that bov. and any old/ possibly broken vaccum lines. and all of your intake manifold gaskets. it will jump up there in idle cause air is coming in after t he mass air and it cant account for it
