Default Just dropped motor in and will not idle

I just put a 96 b18 ls in a 93 cx car starts/runs great it just wont idle. the car is giving me a code #1 O2 sensor but i dont think thats the problem. i checked for any possible vacuum leaks and cant find any,tried unplugging the iacv and it lets it drop a little set screw in T/B turned all the way in.

The 02 sensor is a four wire and i checked all the wires and they are ok is there a way to get a new/newer one w/out paying $200.00

take your IACV off and spray it out with carb cleaner, sometimes the valve sticks after sitting for a while.

and check autozone for an o2 sensor, it shouldnt be that much...

get a universal that will thread into the bung on your header, one with a plug already attached will cost alot more. just a universal type you have to cut and solder the wires, but it is 50% cheaper.
