it might be rich..
balance the fuel/air ratio
black smoke...
i heard that if car smokes black smog when car is fully warmed up, it might be the block problems but like i said, i Heard it so...

bad rpm idle maybe caused by bad idle valve...
on my H22 accord, it was idlen' bad, up n dow from 600-1k rpm
i took out the idle velve, took it apart, reverse the spring inside of valve, and cleaned it, it was fine..
i have saved cost for new idle velve and i didn even call gieco...

good luck

from fellow b16a2 lover
