might wanna check the pcv valve...and more sad news...my bone stock ls powered crx did that when i bent a valve over revving it(9800rpm) check cylinder compression....pcv valve should be the best bet though..if u take it off u should be able to blow through it n the ball inside will move and block it...if the valve dont move then its ur pcv valve....ps love ur choice in motors i got a turbo b20 in my 97 ek coupe

does your car have a cat on it?...check that too... a clogged cat with ur stock ecu might not show a check engine but will cause idle surge and near stalls when warmed up

Check your idle screw bet thats your issue they come loose pretty damn easy. thats what my car was doing and i just tightened her up and now im fine. located on the throttle body takes a flathead screwdriver if thats all the way tightened down and still got a surge unplug the iac(idle control sensor) on the back of the intake manifold and if ur cars runs you got a vaccum leak in the intake manifold

okay well i changed the pcv valve with a new one but that wasnt it.
then i unplugged the iac valve and my car shut off so it wasnt a vacuum leak either
then i decided to try the o2 sensor and it ended up being the dumb o2 sensor it was bad so i replaced and omg it runs perfect now
