Default Weird butterfly valve / throttle valve click sound..??

So lately, I found out that whenever i start my car, there will be a click sound coming off from the butterfly valve or some people call it the throttle valve. It only clicks for the first 15 or so seconds, but i don't know what does that mean... I did touch the tps recently but does that mean it's tps related?

The car is completely fine i suppose since it drives nice and idle fine.

Someone please help.
Thanks!

Clean your MAF sensor, maybe that will help.
