lol. You have altered the lift and duration of your camshafts , and using a stock ECU you wonder why it wont run properly ?

Get an after market ECU ( power FC / hondata ) and tune it.

I'd try a ECU reset that might help abit.
Also check the timing of the car. The aftermarket CAMs generally have the same profile in non-vtec cam, and only go wild in Vtec cam, so idle shouldn't have a problem

Unless you have a non-vtec car? then it might need and aftermarket ECU. But i'd still reset the ecu.
