Default Cant get my CX to Idle right..

I have a 97 Cx hatch, yesterday after driving 40 miles non-stop at 80mph I stopped at a red light, idle dropped to like 400 rpm and then stalled, I have reset the idle by disconnecting the - battery terminal, starting it and letting it run for like 10 min, as soon as it warms up it wont idle, pulls that 400rmp ****... I have:
aem short stack
b&m fpr w/guage
bosh platnum plugs

Could be the shitty plugs you are using. Stay with NGKs.

Also check to see if you are getting a code 14, thats the idle air control valve. It's on the back of the intake manifold near the throttle body.

Any codes???

Mine idles funny when I go on road trips.

Do you have a Vtec controller installed too?
