Default How to set timing on a 92 civic dx SOHC??

Hi, I have searched but can't seem to find anything on how to set it. I am new to the Honda cars so i'm not sure how to set timing. Is the #1 cylinder the first one towards the intake? my car is stuttering and i have changed fuel filter, cleaned IACV, new cap, new spark plugs, and wires. pls. help

thanks

The #1 cylinder is the one closest to the timing belt side. What exactly is it doing ?

at start up, the car idles perfect but after 5min( when warmed up ) the idle starts the stutter and sounds like i have a misfire but when the car is rolling, it is fine. i have changed plugs, cap, rotor, fuel filter and cleaned the iacv. i am so lost..... HELP!

how many miles? Fuel pressure? Comp test? I see the D15B7's burn valves all the time. Get it warm and do a comp test. To rule out sticky injectors, pinch off your fuel return line and see if that helps.

Sounds like a valve is not seating properly or you have an injector sticking open.
