I have a 1994 Honda civic LSi, with a D15B engine. It started ok this morning after which I left the car idling to warm up, then heard it stall, went to start it again and it would turn over and not start. Tried again but with pumping the accelerator and it sputtered a few times then started after releasing a cloud of smoke. The check engine light came on and since then the rev has been going up and down and the check engine light is still on, the car burned a half tank of gas from which I barely got 30 miles. Figure its one of the sensors but I am not sure which one. O2, MAP, TPS?

My 1994 Honda Civic SI has an erratic idle. It stays at 3000-3500rpm when started cold till it warms up then ...
Another place to look is your IAC, or Idle air control valve. It is bolted to the back of the intake manifold, and can be removed and cleaned. It is usually the cause of most Honda Idle problems.
give the engine a minute or two to cool down before turning it off. This cool down period allows oil to circulate and cool down the bearings in the turbo. If you shut off the engine immediately after hard driving, the oil can gum up around the hot bearings and create problems down the road.
Hope this helps
Ihave the same experience try to remove the idle jet located next to the starting jet. But be careful in removing it as it will break easily ( you will need a flat screwdiver to do it ) clean it with a wire that closest size of the jet. change your fuel filter ang drain all the fuel inside before putting it back. make sure to put some air pressure on each holes on the carb so it flush all unwanted particles inside and pls dont use silicone in sealing the rubbers inside.
