    Default Breaking up on high rpm shifts

    car: 92 civic b16 swap
    When i get on the gas, sometimes it sputters or like hesitates after a high rpm shift. Sometimes after i shift n step on the gas the car doesnt even respond untill i let off the gas and press again. What could this be? i was thinking something with the dizzy, but i would like some expert advice reps for help

    hard to tell without looking at it myself.

    But I would check this

    plugs,wires,cap,rotor,fuel presure,coil (voltmeter test), is the dizzy tighten down not loose,etc best of luck
