Default 97 DX coupe/LS intermitten issue,take look

ok i have a 97 civic DX,with a Frankenstein LS swap in it,i call it that cause it has a
b18a1 block/head(has arp head studs already,pretty cool)
b18b1 intake manifold as my A1 didnt have the correct sensors
b18b1 manual hydro LS trans
obd2 b18c dizzy
obd2 LS ecu from an auto teggy
..ik ik not the best set up but u work with what u got when u need a car,my DD truck got totaled n i pieced this together from my project 90 Bswapped hatch that i couldnt get to run right and parts from my now license-less buddys 97 b18b1/turbo civic,i bought the car(say rolling chassie/parts) n we used my motor/exhaust but the rest of his motor components..anyway my question
-there are times it will run like ****,like hesitation and lack of power at below 2500-3000 rpms,above that she's fine and idles at 1500rpms..then there are times i go out n it will idle like a pissed off kitten at 1000rpms n not stumble at all..the inconsistency of this has me confused to be honest,i was told clean the IACV or check the FITV far as the idle goes..what does honda-tech think?

Uh, GSR distributors don't go on LS motors. Get the correct distributor.

Fix all CEL codes and then go from there.
