Default b20vtec running low and idling rough when warm

Its really only rough once it starts warming up then it gets bad but when its cold it idles at about 1k - 1800 rpms like when i first start it up it seems alright.

Also if i give it any throttle itll die unless you rev it hard and build the rpms up but when you build the rpms up when you let off the throttle it just dies like strait stalls.

Itll die even if you drove it and push the clutch in to engage or disengage when the rpms fall. I have a little blow by but thats because my rings arent seated yet still got less than 50 miles on it. hopefully they seat good.

But if i have a milled b16 head 5 thousandth over would i need to advance or retard my cams? If so how much.

I am running on a basemap of a b20vtec with stock internals which is what i have.

Your timing is off, fix it.

Your idle isn't set correctly, fix it.

Get the FSM for the 96-00 Civic. It includes directions for the SI for both procedures. That's the section you need.
