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.

So far i did discover a code i will get it later also i have cleaned the iac and i know my o2 is not good. the other thing is it does it till my engine light comes on after that its almost gone
so i checked code and im getting code 1 and 43 so oxygen sensor and fuel supply system

Have you tried the blow dryer idea? That's what I do with one of my taillights every once in awhile when a few droplets accumulate inside. My brother found me a 1st gen Integra lip and surprised me with it when I went home to visit yesterday. Herb, how did you mount yours? I haven't even looked at it yet but I figure you could give me some pointers.

i stuck small packets of silica gel (the stuff that you get when you buy new shoes that is supposed to keep the moisture out)inside the light where the h4h's go, and its worked for me for the past 3 years...
