Default wierd thing happening with the gas pedal

When i travel long distances, my prelude with h22 swap will start to have a very touchy gas pedal. There will be no smoothness in the transition from no gas, to hitting gas. Same with the gas to no gas. When i stop, the car will buck because the rpms do a kind of rev limit thing. If i shut the car off and start it back up again, the problem goes away? any ideas what it could be?

Check your throttle cable and make sure it's not binding

clean your throttle body. Check your spark plugs for wear. And check yourself to make sure your driving it right

i'd have to guess its a fuel-related problem. so when you start off it operates correctly then the longer you drive it the worse it gets, yet when you shut it off and turn it back on it is working properly again. well the only thing that would change when you restart the engine would be the fuel trims. restarting it wont change anything else..so thats what i would check first.

From what you said, sounds like you are reffering to Fuel Pressure Regulator.
