Low Idealing
My car ideals around 1900rpm when started from cold then when its warmed up it drops between 800rpm to 400rpm. What could be some thing i should check? Somedays i have problems starting because, i think, of the oil in the spark plug tube. Could the spark plugs or/and wires cause bad idealing?

if its standard 800 is correct.

And replace the gasket to prevent the oil aroud the spark plugs.Comment

Look in the DIY section for detailed instructions on how to fix the oil-in-the-tube situation.
Idles not ideals.
800 plus or minus 150.
As far as the hard start goes, check your cap and rotor for carbon, make sure your air filter element is clean, simple stuff like that. A dirty fuel filter or leaky injectors could also cause a hard start. Also make sure your negative terminal on your battery is on firmly.

I know the oil has to cause the hard start cause i pull on the plug and soak up the oil then put it all back together and it starts just fine. As for my car, Its a automatic and it used to be at 1000rpmComment

Common idle problem. There is no ONE answer for it, but it's controlled by the IACV. There's a thing on your intake manifold, located on the front if the original F22a motor. It looks like a black motor mounted in an alluminum housing, has two rubber hoses going to it, and two wires. It's the Intake Air Control Valve. It's a neccessary Honda thing. These bad boys tend to go bad, and need replacing. Easy junkyard part.
