Icon6 idle problems and more

OK i have a h22a and everytime i start it in the morning the idle fluctuates from like 2000 rpm to like 800 until it warms up a lil bit.and when i take off from a start it sputters for a sec and between 1500 to like 2000 rpms then takes off what could cause this i have a cel code 41 which is the o2 sensor heater but i dont think it could cause this does anyone know whats could be causing this.

yeah i just got done putting my h22a in, my vtec goes out as soon as the cel is on, i can't get it to stop running super rich, do you have a littel valve ontop of the fuel rail that has vacume coming from the egr valve and going to the fuel pressure reg? i am going to redu all my vac lines tommorrow based on the helms manual, hopefully that will get rid of the rough idle, idk

o2 sensor could cause that. Your ecu might not be lying right to your face....its just a possibility maybe. O2 sensors arn't too much money. If your obd1 you only need to replace one.
