Default 92 civic 3dr w/ b16a rough idle?

I have a 92 civic with a b16a swap it was running great. Then it sat for a few years now it won't idle steady. It revs up and down real fast like two rabbits going @ it. Anyone tell me why?

Clean the TB and Intake manifold with a can of air intake cleaner. What'd you expect after a couple years of sitting...gunk. good luck though. if you don't know how to do it effectively, lemme know.
