warm idle problem

put a new engine in my 95 civic and now when it warms up, the idle seems to jump between 900 and 1500 rpms. it does not over heat, and seems to run pretty good. help !!!!!

vaccum leak,..dirty screen on the IACV,..but since you just put this new motor in,..more than likely its probably a vaccum leak,..a hose you didnt hook up or osmething
