1997 Honda Civic
Is the timing correct?
You need to:)
1. Test the cooling system to make sure there is no leakage.
2. Verify the timing is exactly set according to the manual using the procedures to make sure all timing points are set on the marks exactly. One or two degrees can cause rough idling but still let the car run.
3 Go over everything you did, make sure there is nothing disconnected like a vacuum hose, any wiring. (you can spray carb cleaner around the vacuum lines to see if you notice a change in the idle if it hits a leaking area, use caution, this is flammable and should only be done a few seconds at a time, then aired out.
good luck!

wow. a lot of bad information on this site. Refer to a manual for the proper torque sequence. The civic I believe is a two step torque procedure. First 22 ft lbs, than 53 ft lbs.

Yes the problem is effecting the emissions controls. Sounds like the timing if off. Take the vehicle to you local Auto Parts Store and most will scan the ECU for fault codes. This code will help you to figure out the problem.
