could be the distributor or fuel pump.
When was the last time you did a tune up?

What program are you using in your ecu? A custom program?
If not i recommend getting ur car tuned, and a custom program made, b/c there aren't really any stock b20vtec programs to use as that engine combo was never offered by honda.
Or at least, as a bare minimum, get a b20vtec program someone else used on their car (PM me if you need either of this done).

i'm using a chip from *****ti k that nick made for the b20vtec. As for tune up today i'm buying everything to get it done. the reason i'm asking is i can't think of anything. as for tune up i really never got one done but when the engine was put in all new parts were installed but i'll do another one anyways just incase.
