as far as tuning its to much u cant have or have to have just seems to be to picky with what and who they wanna tune or tune for plus there prices are almost twice as much plus i dont think they sell chiped ecus thats a plus in my book for j-k because i need a ecu and they sell them chipped oppose to having to buy a ecu and then get it chipped for the price of there chipped ecus other people selling non chipped ecus

Most people who tune aren't gonna want to tune a car that has problems. You should fix stuff before you add or do other things to it.

I have a chipped OBD1 P28 that I don't need. The top of the case (the part that comes on and off) is a little banged up but it works fine.

Willing to sell it pretty cheap, like around $100. PM me if interested.

Ok now my car is acting up when its cold it will bog down and miss pretty bad but if i get on it its all good. I pulled the wires to check for oil in the plugg tubes and i only found a little bit in #3. Also when the car reaches full temp it pretty much goes away and is only a little present ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

so far i have replaced these
plugs
wires
coil
cap & rotor
tps

Yes but they have those guidelines so ppl do not show up with parts falling off or CELS. From the tuners standpoint it is really to look out for their own good. If someones car blows up on the dyno that person is going to blame the tuner right away.
If they specify certain parameters it further ensures that both parties get what they want.

When john tunes cars they need to be about up to par...No cells or anything like that..Evans is a great tuner, one of the best thats why his prices are so much...He is a power tuner......John is a awesome tuner as well, just hasnt been around as long as jeff...

Either one would be a great choice, I stick with john because hes my friend a great guy, and if I ever have any questions/problems he helps me out

If you have an Auto trans. Check the EGR

If you haven't changed your O2 sensor, that may cause bad idling.
Check or Replace the PCV valve, its cheap enough.
You may possibly want to replace the Main Fuel Relay that sits under the dash on the drivers side. Honda Dealership sells them cheaper (you can indicate that you have a 1990-91 Honda Civic EX). (I'll send you mine if you need it....let me know Use it as a check. I think mine is still good).
The ultimate last item could be the distributor altogether. If you have a friend who can let you borrow theirs for testing, see if that relieves all of your problems.
Or even clean your IACV.

If your throwing a code let us know.

Also retry to set your idle. You'll have to warm the engine, then reach behind the IM and unplug the IACV connector. You can reach it with a long standard screwdriver. You will definitely see your CEL light go on. That's good. Adjust your idle. Check your timing as well. you will have to short the connector thats just underneath the dash on the passenger side. once you've corrected the timing and idle. unplug the shorted connector in the car on psgr. shut off your car. replug the connector behind the IM and finally clear the code by removing the 10amp fuse for the hazard...which also resets the ECU.
