Default 98 civic ex sputtering and rough idle

On start idle goes up and drops down low sometimes dies. When accelerating it sputters. It used to be fine once it warmed up but now it’s always there. Tried seafoam, cleaned iacv haven’t checked vacuum leaks or anything ignition. New to Honda please help
