Default engine vibrates when I turn it on and wants to die

I got a 00 civic d16vtec. when I start it up it vibrates a lot more than usual and acts like its going to stall out on me. after it warms up it chills out a lil but still vibrates more than usual. the only mod is an intake and no the mounts arent broke. does anyone have any ideas? i searched and got "sorry 0 results found"

It could be a number of things. You definitely need to start at the bottom and most obvious and cheap, then work your way up.

Check:

Spark Plugs.
Ignition Wires.
Coil.
Injectors.
Any harness unplugged.
Any CEL that came up.

If you did a valve adjustment, did you do it right? Did you use the OEM-spec lash clearances for intake and exhaust sides?

have you used any additive to your fuel system?

make sure the engine is in correct timing and make sure your dist. is firing in the correct order. Get a fuel pressure gauge and make sure your not lossing pressure after the car starts. Good luck

I would say do a compression test and make sure your not losing pressure in the cylinders.

if not, it is probably missing cylinders as it fires. Spark plugs, distributor, all of that ****.

Good luck
