i changed my timing belt, head gasket, and waterpump on a 1995 d15b7 sohc non vtec. a cel code comes up 41. the car idles high and low inconsistently and it sounds like a misfire from the exhaust. the distributor is on and the firing order is correct. all the plugs are in the right place and the 02 sensor seems fine. when i did the timing for the timing belt tdc on the bottom block was right on the line but the head was off by a hair but either way i moved the cam gear it was still off. so im assumin the timing is fine. anyone have any ideas?

Air in cooling system possibly. Did you bleed it properly?

Also check whether you accidentally broke the heater element power or ground wire for the O2 sensor.

you know both of you guys are right i appreciate the help. i did not bleed the coolant system and when i took the header off the 02 hit the ground pretty hard. so i will check those tomorrow. im gonna double check if i have any vaccumm leaks too.
