Could a clogged cat do this sort of thing? LOL a lot of ppl have this same issue and they cant seem to figure it out. I read from a faulty ecu, vtec solenoid, crank positioning sensor(ckp), tranny.

Here is a vid of some guy that has the same problem.

If you are not a member, and can't see the post, then join. Its straight out of the honda service manual. I have no idea if you have the same problem, but its worth a look I guess.
