Car troubles

Well here goes when my car is first started i pull out and give it some gas and there is a really bad hesitation, it almost stalls i have to feather the pedal to get up to speed it gets a bit better after it warms up. If i just lay my foot on the pedal and try to accelerate slowely it bucks and hesitates then pics up but when i mash the pedal it accelerates fine.
Any ideas?????? And ya it is a 89 crx with a 91 integra engine.

what plugs are you running? be sure everything is installed correctly... also, what wires??

some cheap wires will burn up quick under the MSD ignition, I'd say check the resistance on these bitshes

There are several things that cane be doing that. Check all your plugs wires and MSD stuff, see if the are arching, see if there is any discolouration on anything like that. Cap and rotor not operating properly, etc, can be a temp sensor, or a couple of different ones. Just do and the basic pulling of stuff and cleaning and checking them all , if still doing it, goto a shop and have them check it out. Like I said could be several different things, incl fuel pump.
