looks to me like a MAF sensor, either its loose or may have accumulated some dirt on its connectors so needs a clean up. alternativly have a look at the IAC valve

What is skeem?
It's skimming - basically if a cylinder head warps due to heat/pressure it's usually a last-ditch attempt to try to revive an engine with a blown head gasket by skimming a few microns off and hoping that by doing that the new exposed metal doesn't have the imperfection. It takes some very special machinery to do it though as we are talking thousandths of an inch.
