    Default Integra LS Idle problem

    So I have a 97 Acura Integra LS. It jumped time back in April and I just got around to putting a new belt on this week. Ran fine when I first started it, but after I turned it off and changed the oil, it threw 3 codes. Random misfire, and misfire on cylinders 1 and 2. I bought plugs and wires because I figured "why not? It has been sitting a while" but haven't put them on yet. The problem really, is that it idles and has a miss until about 3 grand, then it smooths out. Thinking it's the IACV, but not sure. Anybody wanna weigh in?

    Since it jumped time it could be a bent valve issue, Also I have seen folks that do the timing belt and in doing dont put the cranksensor wiring back in its holders on the timing cover and the wires rub against the alterator belt and it will throw the codes your listing.
