Default Z6 w/ d15b head running problems. PLEASE HELP

Hey guys. Last night i bought a 97 civic hx, with a d16z6 w/d15b head swap. The problem im having is it has a veryy low idle. Also, it is gutless anything under wide open throttle. It hesitates and misses at a steady speed under 3k rpms. What do you guys think?
