Default Head Swap - Super Low Idle - Need Some Help

Ok, here's the story:

I have a '98 CX. I have access to a bunch of parts for real cheap so I thought I'd play around with this car a little. The problem is a super low idle. I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep in runnin. I've checked over everything about 9 times. I've check all my wiring diagrams to make sure the right plug is plugged into the right sensor (thats screwed me b4 but wont happen again). It has the EX cluster, computer, wiring, complete head thats been shaved and has a Crower Stage 2 cam in it with adjustable cam gear. It has an Integra throttle body. I had to do the 2 wires IAC fix. The intake had to be bored out to except the larger throttle body. The idle passage was not cut into. It has a new IAC. If you have any more questions just ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did try searching. I went thru 6 or 7 pages. Couldnt find much so I thought I'd post something. I'm gonna keep searchin tho.

Thanks

Its got that cam in there so it has a slight lope at idle speed but I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it runnin. Its not missing and I've reset the computer twice.

look into fuel delivery. pump and filter. with the adjustible cam and bored intake you are getting a lot of air but may NEED more gas to keep it running at idle. hence keeping your foot on the gas

uh huh, i have the fuel pressure bumped up some. the pump is strong and the filter is new so . . . I'm at my shop now. I have the scanner on it and all the sensors are reading what they're supposed to so thats a plus. I got a few more things i wanna check. I'm kinda wondering if something like this would happen if u reverse the polarity on the IAC since I had to switch it from 3 wire to 2 wire. hmmm

Ok I think I'm gettin it. I played around with the idle screw and played with the timing a little bit. She's idling on her own now all tho it is a bit high (1,500rpm). I'll keep this updated just incase anyone want to chime in with any info.
