Do you have any check engine lights? Does it only idle rough when it's initially started up i.e. does it go away eventually?

Spits and sputters. You running open headers or there is a flange not bolted up.

I didn't know that Honda engines had two cylinder banks, thus necessitating the need for more than one header. God, I hate you. Don't listen to this guy OP.

You could have a bad fuel injector. I had a similar problem on my 98 hatch. Replaced the fuel injector in question (threw a code 73) and no more sputtering at start up.

even if the engine light is not on make sure you check that computer. The check engine light in my lude does not work and it was throwin 2 codes. I could not figure out what was wrong with it cause the light was not on until i looked at the ecu.

You dont have chocolate lollypops on your plug wires do you? Both me and my father-in-laws CRX did that from the oil settling into the cylinder after sitting. It caused my car to run hard for a couple minutes. Just a suggestion and easy to check.
