Default '86 Prelude 1.8L...low rough idle... please help

I just bought the car, You have to give it alot of gas to start it, and then it idles really low(around 150-200)and rough. The plugs look ok even though threeof them are NGK and one is AUTOLITE. Tried adjusting the distributor, doesnt seem to do much. Where else should I look?

welcome to the forum. ( If you have a carb, adjust the idle speed up, and adjust the mixture screw to a leaner. and get one ngk plug to make them all the same.)
