alright, so this is whats up....lately my car has been actin real funny......when taken off in first gear, its like my car is stuttering.....i.e if you shift from one gear to teh next and your rpm is too low, your car stutters and you probably have to downshift untill your rpm is higher, then shift up....well intially i thought maybe it was my pcv valve, i replaced it and i still had the problem....theres no leaks with my clutch fluid etc...i need a new clucth but i dont think that is the problem b/c shifting into gear isn't that big of a deal...im thinkin it may be a fuel problem or what not, but the thing is, it doesn't always happen, it just happens to me randomly.....well i drove around with my friend and he thinks i may have got water in my CAI.....i doubt that may be it but it could be( he got water in his CAI so he thinks anything wrong with a motor is that), my motor isn't hydrolocked though, maybe i need a new filter, mines is kind of dirty.....could maybe be a dirty injector, maybe need new spark plugs....has anyone ever had a problem like this with their motor....if so what did you do to fix it, or if you have any suggestions on what it may be and how to fix it....im pretty good ( not great) with cars and this has me stumped, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated it, thanks for readin and responding in advance

CEL= Check Engine Light this will light up if there are any codes thrown.


The ITR never once threw a CEL and it became a pain in the butt until the distributor was replaced, now it is normal and runs strong.

depends on where you buy it from they can range anywhere from $175 up. I think the one that went on the ITR was factory Acura and it was close to $350 I think she said.

sounds alot like a camshaft position sensor problem... not sure how they are setup on your car though. on my car, if the cps comes disconnected for whatever reason it really stumbles and nearly sounds like its running on 3 cylinders. on alot of hondas it is built into the distributor... but im not sure about the 99-00 Si's.
