Default Help with a diagnostic..

I have a b16 crx dx and idle fluctuates when im in neutral. Also wen i start up the car on a cold morning it idles at around 2 (normally) and then after a few minutes it drops and starts searching for idle at 500 too 1000.
--Ive checked my coolant and thats fine.
--I cleaned out my IACV. I bled my coolant just in case of air bubbles (but i didnt lift the front end while i was doing it, I was told that was the proper way).
--I also noticed that when it is searching for idle it and the rpms drop low theres a sqeek coming from my dizzy.
--I think its my dizzy is bad. Any other suggestions before i go out and buy a new one? THanks

I had a vacuum leak at the intake manifold. If you have taken the intake manifold off make sure you put a good gasket on and it seals correctly.

If the distributor squeaks then the bearings are bad. You need to replace it before it heats up and kills things inside of it leaving you stranded. I would address that first because that is definitely a big problem and could cause your problem. Id put money on the distributor being the root of the problem.
