Default Big Problem......Any Ideas?

I've got a 92 prelude with the F22b dohc Jdm swap. My car idles down real low and seems like its going to die but it dosent. Also it pulls back and forth all the time. i have replaced my fuel filter, EGR valve, Fuel injectors, and O2 sensor and have had no luck at all. The local honda guy is going out of the country and cant get to my car until the 1st of next month so anyone with any ideas pleae let me know.

Thanks
Chris

ok well you described the problem, but what have you changed or did this always happen, or has it just recently developed, are you trying to say u just did a swap and the car runs but this is wha it does, or are you saying that you have done the swap suceessfully and all of a sudden out of the blue the car runs like this, try telling us how long it worked or didn't and is your timming set to the stock spec, and are you using the f22b ecu?

That sounds like you are just running rich. My car makes popping sounds all of the time when I let off of the gas and coast.

well i got my swap done and it ran fine except for a little hesitation towards redline through first and second but after that it was fine. Now it seems like its just gotten worse and worse and now it hesitates all the way through and when i take my foot off the gas. Now since you minchened distrubotior i will minchen this. When i got my swap done the man said that my stock motor had an internal coil and my new motor has an external coil. So he did something where their are wires running out of my distrubotor and are spliced into other wires and he said that would make it work. Well i later on learned that they make an adaptation kit that changes the coil from internal to external without all of that splicing and ****. So this makes me think do you think that maybe how he did my wiring in my distrubtor is the reason. Also any ideas on how to fix it if thats what it is? and is their any way to tell if thats the reason?
