That should go from the breather outlet on your valve cover to a port on the intake tube.

Probably isnt hooked up because of your jdm tyte ebay intake.

it was idling randomly between like 750-1750 rpm. the iac was pretty dirty, and cleaned it. but now nothing starts...

ok so the battery was just low.
but now it smokes(good thing i hope) and idle is still fuzzy.
750-1500 rpm, then like 300-1200

Make sure you don't have any air in your cooling system or vacuum leaks.

Got the video you emailed. Good quality too. Put it on youtube and link it here.

I had a similar issue with one of my old cars that ended up being the fast idle thermo valve. Should be on the back of the manifold.

Inside it is a plastic disc that you should need to tighten down and that fixed my surging idle.

Also you should look for any vacuum leaks.
