Default B18a having problems w/ Idle (stalls.. vibrates.. hesitates) please help.

Hey all,
It's kind of important to me, so if anyone could give me some insight on this i'd really appreciate it. My 93 integra LS is having problems idling. It idles at 5-600 rpm, and the whole car shakes. The rpms rise a bit, and then fall, if you watch, you can see the hood shaking. It should be noted that the AC/brakes seem to make the problem worse.

I ordered a shop manual, and I'm going to fix this myself if at all possible. Can anyone give me some suggestions on where to look/how to fix this?

Any and all help greatly appreciated, as I'm a poor college student lol.

hmmm... Prolly just need to raise the idle. For a quick fix, the idle screw is near the top of the throttle body, kinda largish flathead screw. Look around, you'll find it. Turn it a quarter turn or so counterclockwise, and that should raise your idle. Once you get your shop manual though, make sure to do it right.

brakes /(AC affected) run off manifold vacuum, with such a poor idle you are not making enough vacuum, check for vacuum leaks, adjust idle higher, you may not be getting enough fuel or way too much, also check IAC works refer to manual for wiring and get potentiometer to check points. Did you just install a massive cam???
