My 1990 crx sounds like it's missing when idling. Just a little stutter and sometimes when I take off it kinda Boggs for a second and I'll be driving and will kinda studder for a second but keep going. Just wondering where I should start thank you ps there's no engine light and has new plugs and wires..
 
I would check the basics like distributor cap and rotor (replace if it hasn't been done in a while), fuel filter and replace if not done in a while, air filter, etc. Check vacuum lines also.

Check the gap on the plugs. You said you new plugs and wires, is this new since you installed these items? If so you may have your answer.
 
Ok thank you it idles at about 2k rpms when I first start it. It works it's way down after bout 5-10 mins and also has Hunting idle after driving it. Like from 2k down to like under 1k and back and forth thank you for the help
 
sounds like a vacuum leak. if you check everything, look at the timing next.
