    had a problem like that with my si, I had a clogged cat, caused back pressure and I jumped timing.
    so I suggest check ur cat. convertor abd your timing belt to see if its off

    it is probably either the map sensor or an o2 sensor. Also check your fuel filter. If it is running rich you will want to get a new set of spark plugs as well.

    always check your codes if you have a cel...it'll save you a lot of time by pointing you in the right direction instead of getting an erroneous e-diagnosis.

    find out what your codes are and report back.

    make sure before you do all that stuff, that your spark plug wires are all tightly connected.

    What is beign described is Def.. the Internal cam sensor in the dizzy it's skipping a beat... I bet $$ that his RPM Gauge is bouncing around all over the place when it starts to sputter....
