Few seconds of rough idling when started
96 civic with a B16A2 swap. When I start my car after it has sat for more than like a half an hour, it idles really rough and loud. After a few seconds it goes back to normal. Anyone have any ideas? Coolant leaking into the cylinders due to a bad HG is the only thing I can think of.

Re: Few seconds of rough idling when started
Just got finished cleaning the IACV and it runs great now. Replaced the spark plugs while I was out there and realized whoever did the swap had them at a super high gap like 50+ or something crazy. Idk which of two fixed the problem but it seems fine for now. Just for future reference I know the Coolant lines running to the IACV are only need if you live in a cold weather area, anyone know how cold?
