Default 98 prelude dies at idle please help me!!

My 1998 prelude starts up and runs good for the first min or so then once it warms up will bog down to 100-300 rpm or die about one out of every three times the car comes down to idle like at a stop light. Car seems to have the right amount of power runs great as long as its not at idle has great compression, no cel. could the butterfly valves be stuck shut at idle? iacv bad even with out throwing a cel? I did notice the plugs look like they have been running ritch like in a car with a bad 02 sensor but again no cel. feels like there coul be a very slight miss at 900 rpm when it does idle but very min..

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Open up your distributor and check to see if the rotor came loose due to the screw that holds it in place backed it self out.
