Default low rpm

Hi, I own a Honda Civic EG8(1992)D15B VTEC JDM and I have a problem with rpm.
When I start the engine idle speed starts to 200-400 rpm.
It doesn't make the same all the time.
when I stop at traffic lights, idle speed drops from 700 to 400 and after the idle speed is back to normal. Pls help me.ty

Clean your IACV and reset the ecu.

Check your base timing, and make sure the timing belt hasn't jumped. I would also run a leakdown test to make sure there isn't any valve damage to start off with. Then do what the guy above me said.

When u pull it off the manifold u will see that it has a mesh filter. That's what you clean with carb cleaner or brake clean(anything that evaporates)

DO NOT SOAK IT by any means
