Default URGENT - Motor will crank but not start

Motor will crank but not idle.

JDM B18c T/R - Skunk2 cams - S2 TB - 98 CX (canada) non vtec d16y7
Car is a 98 Civic hatch CX

Checked and double checked;
-tps
-map
-vacuum lines
-fpr

Motor will run but only under throttle. Stalls as soon as the throttle is let go to idle position.

Running out of ideas and patience.

PS no crank position sensor hooked up. "was told it didn't need it so don't call me dumb for not hooking it up"

I'm 95% sure the wiring is hooked up ok.

Thanks in advance HT

it might be your ignition coil or a vaccum leak

Is the mechanical and ignition timing set to spec?

What ECU? Is the ECU throwing code 4?

have you checked the IACV? thats what keeps your idle. had this happened to me. i had the tps and iacv switched.

also, you should change your thread title. maybe "motor will start but doesnt hold idle."

this might help: https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/%2A%2A%2Ahow-clean%2A%2A%2A-your-iacv-k-idle-air-control-valve-1575913/
