Default my car idles all weird.

i just swapped a ZC single cam V-tec in my EK

my car idles all weird when i first turn it on.

the bottom end of the motor doesnt shake at all, yet the top head proportion shakes alot when idle. i tried adjusting the distributor up and down/ retard mode etc. and it still doesnt fixes its problem. i never touched the timing belt or adjusting it or whatsoever.

my car also revs at 200-500 at idle too. even when warm.

what could it be?

i thought it would be my problem of the dizzy, because i took out the dizzy and change the cap and rotor. (which i shouldnt have)

any help gladly appreciated. *thumbs up*

Have you tried cleaning your IACV or FITV?
Bled your coolant?
as for the head shaking, check your timming, might be outta wack!

the head is shaking?? wtf... i said that is a F*** up motor... now if u are refering to valve clicking then that will sound better... adjust your idle by the TB with a flat head and see if that fix your problem...

on my manifold, i dont see the screw adjuster. where can i locate the adjust off a p08 manifold?

o and another thing, when i rev the car or gas the car after 1-2kish the motor seems to run fine and the head or the whole motor doesnt shake.

and btw, my air temperature sensor is not plugged within the engine harness, can that also be the problem?

no the air temp sensor wouldn't be the problem, but you should plug it in, the idle adjuster is on the Throttle Body on the intake manifold.... should be next to the map sensor...
