Default HELP b16 running rough

hey. i was driving my car and took off quick from the light, vtec kicked in and i shifted at the redline, went into second gear normally, and then so on. but when i stopped at the next light, the car barely stayed running and is now idling rough. Now when i start the car, it runs rough for 40 seconds, and then the engine light comes on, then it sounds like its running fine but really isnt. but before the engine light comes on, if i pull the first or second cillinder spark plug, the idle does not drop down. it seems like it's runing on 3 cillinders.

if someone would know what to do or have some tips for me it would be greatly appriciated

You may be due for a tune-up... How long has it been?
