This is the stock motor that came in car right,,? You didnt just do a swap or anything? If so and the motor was sitting for a long time check the throttle cable to see if its sticking..Or it could be a big vacuum leak of some sort..Is the check engine light on?
My fathers motor used to do that **** and we found out it was the intake manifold gasket..It was leaking like crazy..

it might be the intake mani gasket....it was just swapped...from a 89 civic si motor to a crx si motor....same motor it could be the intake mani gasket....ill have to see though
