I have an em1, two weeks ago, i finished rebuilding my engine with rs ctr pistons, arp head studs,arp rod bolts,cometic headgasket, gates timming belt, oem water pump, new belt tensioner. The car started right up, it was running hard and strong. but the cam seals were leaking oil, so I replaced them, while replacing the seals I decided to retorque the head(80lbs), then I put everything back together, changed the oil and cranked it, it turn on and turned off, checked timmimg and its good, so I keep cranking it and wont turn on, when it does it turns back off, when it turns on and I hit the gas the car stalls, or it bogs to rev. I checked timming 4 times and replaced cap,rotor,wires, plugs and tried a diffrent coil. Still doing the samething, and when I get it to run it drives like if it was out of time, slow. Vtec does kick in but the car is slow and keeps stalling. I need help please. here is a video i made, the rumbuling noise is the plate ,its loose. 2000 civic si idle problem - YouTube every opinnion will be consider, thank you
