Low RPM hesitation

Hey guys i am driving a 99 coupe with a D15B in it. i am getting a nasty low rpm hesitation.. you can acually feel the car holding back but its running fine.
so it clears up around 3000rpm....and its good there on up....what i did was sprayed some carb cleaner into the TB and its cleared it right up and ran like a million dollars.... ran good for about 3days now its doing it again.....so i used carb cleaner again........same thing running great.........i wanna know why its doin this so i can fix it cause its a pain in the ***........any help or insight will be greatly welcomed

thanks all in advance

I do not own a timing light but i could get one.......what puzzles me is that after spraying carb cleaner in the motor it ran great for 3day..

Regular tune ups? Spark plug changed?

Sticky injector?? tune up?? sounds kind of like a fuel problem, see if you can check fuel pressure.

good luck

i am having the same problem with my b18c1... anything below 3k it feels like it goes nowhere, but past it it runs strong... its weird... i've asked and most people don't have a clue, but others have said timing. I am going to try to get my timing done this weekend and see if that helps!!!
