try running the vtec wiring first..plug in the proper ecu. cuz the cel light is most likely on cuz of the vtec..that can add to your idle problem..as well as timing and a few other things..if the first steps dont help you may have bad rings.

The first step is to pull the CEL codes and post them.

I have the same idling problem, in for the solution! Check your vacuum lines, it probably has a leak. It's probably that, or a bad gasket on your intake manifold or exhaust manifold. I just ordered all my gaskets to replace them. I also cleaned my idler air control valve. Gotta check my vacuum lines when I get some time off.

so i checked my cel .. and it gave me (21 VTEC spool solenoid valve) so im assuming dat means dat the vtec it not wired up.. so im wondering how do i wire up the vtec directly to the ecu ..cuz i dont wanna have to get a vtec harness lol
