D16z6 very low idle when warm and using brakes and other accessories.
So I recently did a swap in my 93 civic ex. I believe the valves were to tight when I received the motor. After adjusting them the motor started up and seemed to run OK. As soon as it reaches normal temp and the fan kicks on the rpms drop a bit but if I put my foot on the brakes I can almost kill the car. Gets worse if I start turning stuff on. Replaced the alternator cause it was crap but still didn't really help my problem. Does seem to be pulling a little more power than it should be cause my volt gauge will drop to about 13.6 for a sec but jump back up to 14.2. Compression was good 185 average. Timing has been checked 50 frigin times. I am able to drive it just a bit scary when pulling up to a stop sign and it drops down to about 2 or 300 rpms and almost dies. No cel lights.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Does the IAC valve work? Is it clogged or stuck?
