Default A problem I can not fix! Help Please.

Tried searching but dont know what to put!

My integra has been sitting for two years. Built a low compression motor put it in. My car started right up sounded fine. Fixed the timming with the dizzy. So car idles somewhat ok...kinda sounds like a suby. i tried driving of to seat the rings and the car bogs when i give it gas. and if i give it to much gas it dies. so i advanced the timing a bit but it jumps around. I checked the spark all cylinders spark and dizzy is ok... only thing i could think of was old gas so i threw in some good ol' chem tool and fresh gas and nothing!
Someone give me some ideas or advice anything useful Im so Frustrated

I also disconected each injector clip...one at a time and each time the idle changed...just like when I took out each spark plug wire

umm dont know how to check apart from trying new ones,

Is your map sensor hooked up, my car sounds like a suby when its unpluged and just dieds if i try move it.

Might need to run a driffent tune, lower compression motor will be giving a driffent vac reading then the ecu is expecting.

Do you have a boost/vac guage? Could throw on one just to check the vac levels,
Between 24-20 at idle the stock ecu can handle. Any lower or higher and the fuel maps are too off for it to idle.

Have you compression tested all the cylinders, maybe your stuffed up or dialed in wrong the rings.

check your seals. also check map. i.e. get it tuned to run on such low compression. if you didnt know our honda engines run w/high compression, and running low comp to compensate for turbo whould most definetly require tune. if running turbo you whould turbo cams, retainers, and springs. and please do a compression test. let me know whats up.

I was under the impression it was ok to run stock ecu on low comp. motors as long as there was no turbo.

Ok so today I adjusted timig and it sound alot better but now I cant adjust the timing with the light it says its off. It drives good. but at a stop it will die. now whats going on.

Btw stock cams duel springs titanium retainers and stainless valves

you will prob have to give it a higher then stock idle to keep it running intill its been tuned, try 1000-1500 rpm.

The timing no matter what i do is off now when i check with the light. and moving the dizzy does not really help.
What do i need to tune everythin on the outside is stock. Only internals are after market.
SHould I mess with the idle screw. its never been touched
