Unhappy 1993 Civic swap, idle surge/loop

I saw a post similar to this below, so i'm sorry for the duplicate. Currently running a GSR B18C1 w/ 72k miles, with Skunk2 intake mani. No turbo. No air leaks, replaced all hoses and TPS/connector. Cleaned the IAC, and fan runs fine. No bubbles in the lines, either. Hondata shows no codes and RPM is around 950-1000 when idling 'correctly'. Car wants to go go go when driving, but will loop after full warm up and at a full stop. This started once I replaced the manifold, but all is set to specs. I'm at a loss here and will take any suggestions. I never cold start or let her sit for more than a month without driving a few miles.

Did you do a smoke test for vacuum leaks?
Running lean at all?
o2 voltages in spec?

Quick update. Ok, so it turns out the IAC was from the stock manifold - I purchased a GSR one, and the looping dramatically changed. (DUH right!) It still loops, but not nearly as bad. Still not 100%, but it's a race car! Thanks for looking!
