Default ls-vtec cutting out

My car has started cutting out whenever I am in low rpms. I loosend the distrtibutor and moved it up a little bit and then it would run fine. Then after driving it for a while it would do it again. Is my timing off or could it be something else?

could be a bad sensor or try raising your idle up a little it could also be you timing off a tad use a timing gun to check that

I will try that. The spring was stuck clesed where the throttle cable goes in before i put the motor in. I had to put alot of forse to open it and I wd40'd it and it was a little better

I think it might be my Throttle position sensor. I noticed that it is broken
