Yikes, you've got one of the most complicated Hondas to try and tune right there. You did good tuning up the basics. Now I think the next thing you should do is check for vacuum leaks. There are so many lines, that one cracked dried up hose or one vacuum leak is a recipe for all sorts of drivability issues.
