Default Stock 92 Civic sputtering at idle

Ok this is kinda hard to explain so imma try my best.

I have a 92 civic with a stock motor. I recently changed my plugs and wires. After doing soon it ran fine for about 30 mins. Upon changing the plugs i failed to see the inside seals on 2 of the plugs were bad and oil was getting in there and make it run funny. So, next day pulled the VC off and replaced the seals inside the VC and VC gasket. checked the plugs and they seemed ok , put it all back together ran perfect till yesterday...the car sat for 2 days and i went to start it and it acted like it wasnt getting compression. there was no smoke or anything like that...so i thought maybe the plugs fouled out from previously of not changing the seals. so i went and got new plugs today and put em in and it seems to run better again but its still sputtering while its at idle...i dont know what else it can be...i dont see any water in the oil...i dont know what else it can be or do....Any input would help...it has new timing belt also so the timing is good on it.


also before i changed the seals inside the VC 2 of the spark plugs were wet but after the seal change they were not

Any CEL codes? Check the distributor cap and rotor. Then clean the IACV and replace the PCV valve.
