Idle mifire trouble help!

Hello,
Ive recently had my head gasket done due to leaking valve seals, and timing belt kit, water pump done also.
I correctly torqued the cylinder head down and in right sequence. The timing marks also line up.
I can get it stated first time every time, it idle's normal but min later it misfires and backfires at the exhaust.
When i driven its fine but stop at a junction the revs will drop so much that it nearly stalls. I know the distrutor is adjustable would this cause it if it was incorrect.
My car is 1994 honda civic esi sohc VTEC (eng code: D16Z6)
If anyone can help me out that be great
