Default Really SLOW Starts, Misfiring Idle - Whats The Problem?

Ive got an obdo b16 in my car, ran good other than the misfire before I swapped the clutch.

If the car has been sitting for 3+ hours and completely cools down, the thing will take 5-7 seconds to start, it cranks real easy and its turning over and getting great power from the starter but just wont kick, then when it does, its not instant, it takes a second.

If the car is cold and started up there is also a very audible misfire, the engine stumbles if you try and push the gas and ESPECIALLY if you try and drive it.

2 minutes of driving and the cars mint.

1 problem I know of for sure, is I spotted to uncoonected wires, its a solid green wire with a female connector and a yellow white with a male connector, there over by the intake by the wires are pretty long I dont remember where they came from. Are thye possibly on the back of the block?

For my misfire, when I bought the car, I changed the plugs oil and air filter thats it, the misfire kinda gradually came on and now its just pissing me off. Could it be my rotor in the dizzy possibly? Suggestions?

Thanks guys

Yesterday my crx b16 obd0 was not starting. I know i was getting fuel so i checked for spark and it was good. I removed dizzy cap and noticed moisture and some oil. Cleaned it up and was good to go. Started right up. Went to rev it and it was sluggish and hesitating. No CEL was on but i checked ecu and it was throwing a code for knock sensor. Well fixed the wired that was loose at the clip and popping noise when away and so did the hesitation. Something to check out

Well Im definetely doing rotor cap and wires, but aparently I got some wrong info on here and pats dont fit my car like people said they would.

Trying to figure out what cap/rotor I have to buy for an OBDO B16 here in Canada. 91 Teg LS did not work

This swap will only be specific to JDM B16A 1st gen motors.

So here we go:

Maintenance Items:
Gaskets Head gasket = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Valve cover gasket = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Spark plug O-ring gaskets = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Intake manifold gasket = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Exhaust manifold gasket = US '90-7 Integra or US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Spark Plugs = Any US B series motor
Cap and Rotor = US '90 Integra
Spark Plug Wires = Any US B series
Thermostat = US '90-1 Integra, US '94+ DelSol VTEC, '99+ Civic Si
Timing Belt = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Water Pump = US '94+ DelSol VTEC
Lower Radiator Hose = '91 Integra
Upper Radiator Hose = Universal, may need trimming
Alternator = '90 Integra
Oil Pan = Any US B series
Oil Pump = 94 DelSol VTEC
Crank Pulley = Any US B series
Clutch = US '92 Integra GSR
Pressure Plate = US '92 Integra GSR
Pilot Bearing = Any US Civic/Integra
Throw-out Bearing = US '91-2 Integra, P/N 22810-ps1-015 $47.05
Flywheel = Any US B series
Axles depend on half shaft your using!!
Headers = best to use JDM B16 because of o2's
