Should be a idle screw on the throttle body. right next to the accelerator cable. also make sure your cable isn't pulled tight keeping the accelerator opened slightly for a high idle

I have known when the distributor starts to go bad it will not fire 100%, that could cause your failure in good gas mileage!

SOURCE: 1991 Honda Accord LX failed emission test on smog

not enough info. Typically, CO and HC together can be the result of poor fuel control or misfire, or worn components such as O2 sensor or catalytic converter, but without more data, repair recommendations are likely to waste money and not achieve success.

My 1994 Honda Accord Lx running richemission: failed emission test.

When the mechanical timing "slipped" the valve timing was affected. Valves can be bent if they strike a piston. Have a compression test performed on each cylinder. If the compression is low on any cylinder, likely the cause is a bent valve caused by the mis-timed engine. The cylinder head will have to be removed and the bent valves and valve guides replaced as part of a "valve job."

Cant seem to get the idle are timing locket in seem to idle to high the check engine light stays on

Find out what code the CEL is throwing. It could just be that your idle needs to be reset. Or you got the timing wrong when putting your car back together and it's running excessively hot.

Erratic idle surging at idel and in gear 91 honda accord LX

Sounds like an idle air control valve issue. these can stick open and cause surging. That would be my first step.
