Default Im new and I need help

Hi guys im new in here and I was wondering if u can help me. I have a 1990 Honda Accord and I just did a engine swap. I went from a F22 stock motor to a F20 from a 1994 Honda Prelud none V-TEC. Every thing came out right but my motor keeps ideling up to 3500 RPMs then back down over and over again all day every day. Can any one help with this problem? I would really appreciated thanx.

Hey guys its me once more I took it to get checked and they told me that the computer is not compatible with the motor. Now I have to buy the F20 computer but my question is, do the plugs fit the same or do I have to change more than the computer. Do I have to do any wire cuting or is every thing just plug ins?

The wrong ECU would not cause that.
