B16B Four Door

I have a 2000 civic LX with a b16b swap. It was running fine until I adjusted my valve lash. I thought the valves were too tight so I redid all the valves and it's still running like crap and misfiring. Before I did the valves it ran but the valves were tapping. Is there any reason that my motor would be throwing a code because of the valves? The only thing on the spark side I touched other then taking out spark plug wires was the first spark plug to make sure the motor was at tdc. I had to borrow a friends ecu out of a em1 si to read the code which was p1382 (along with 2 others due to the jdm motor) when I had my ecu in I did the paper clip trick and it had 9 fast blinks which is a cylinder misfire so I'm stumped on what it could be

You're post is confusing. How many codes are you throwing and what are they EXACTLY?

umm please make this easier to read because i read the first 3 sentences and stopped because it makes no sense

Sorry for being confusing in the original post.

Due to some valve tap I adjusted the valve lash to .006" on the intake and .008 on the exhaust (I believe thats what it's supposed to be set to) After I did that my car did not want to idle and started to misfire then the the cel light came on. I did the paper clip trick to get the code and came up with 9 short flashes which is a cylinder misfire and in order to try and pin point the cylinder I used a friends si ecu to pull the codes with a scanner. I got a code for the o2 sensor (didn't write down the code because my motor only has one sensor so it should come up with a usdm ecu) it also threw a p1259 which I believe is also normal because there is no oil pressure switch? Lastly it threw the p1382 which I believe has to do with the dizzy. My question is could the valves be too tight causing it to misfire, not want to idle and throw a cel or would it be a problem that just happened to come up after the valve lash was done?

your valves may be to tight. I would re check them.

Code 9 is cylinder sensor which is in the distributor. How exactly did you adjust your valves?

It could be as simple as bad spark plug wires or a bad cap and rotor on the distributor.
