Quoted From Chris95118:
bhvx:
-you might want to look at your O2 sensor(s) when they fail/go bad they cause the ECU to lean the mixture way out. (that’s what happened with my CRX)
-the bosch platinum plugs have been very good for me (correct heat range and the platinum electrode is very wear resistant compared to a standard plug’s electrode, also allows for more precise spark since the platinum electrode is a much smaller target)
-my distributor is aftermarket. (OE would be nice; but, it’s basically twice the price. I check before I bought.)
-my swap ZC replacing D16A6 doesn’t even need to BAR’d
the engines are mechanically the same assuming you use the old intake and exhaust which I did. If I moved to a B16 DOHC that’s a different story and not one I’m interested in. My CRX Si is plenty zippy; faster than many people realize. The only modifications I’ve done are put a Stage 1 Excedy clutch and pressure plate in (grabs fast and very driveable) and HASport EFSTK 62A motor mounts.
I’m not saying this is causing your problem but Bosch plugs don’t belong in that engine and the aftermarket distributor WILL cause problems just check through the forums here and you’ll see how many people are having problems with them.
In the end I’m thinking someone either messed with the idle screw and doesn’t have it adjusted correctly or you may have a problem with the IAC. BTW it should NEVER be adjusted.
Lastly I don’t think you followed the proper procedure for bleeding out the cooling system as the bleeder valve has nothing to do with purging the air from the system it’s only there to make filling the system easier you need to follow ALL of the steps in the video in order to be successful at bleeding all the air from the system. Also you don’t need the funnel just put a pan under the front of the vehicle to catch any antifreeze that may boil out.
