i know one way to fix your valve problems.. V-TEC bitch!! :gotrice:

your is your idle rough? im not sure but if your BOV (blow off valve) is open atmosphere it will idle low and rough with that sputtering. also if its an open atmosphere BOV it will cause the car to die when letting off the throttle. most cars respond this way because the boost isn't...
