hi all....

i have a 94' eg coupe with a d16z6.

this car idles perfectly... i can sit in it with the clutch in, rev it as high as i want to, and it wont miss a beat.... but as soon as i put the car in gear take off and hit about 2500-3000rpms the car will act as if it hit a brick wall, it will sputter, buck, pretty much anythjing but stall... i have to push the clutch in and it will drop back to idle perfectly....
this problem is driving me crazy, the car wont even give me a hint(throw a code)
any help from anyone will be greatly aprreciated

i have replaced:
tps sensor
iacv
distributor
spark plugs
cap
rotor button
fuel filter on the firewall is only.... 2 years old but i guess that could be it

any other suggestions?

o yea and my timing is fine.... i havent changed anything close to when the problem first started occuring... just out of the blue... o and it doesnt matter if the car is warm or cold...

getting fuel cut.. maybe check fuel pump, injectors... it seems like when u have a load on it it cant keep up with the amount of fuel it needs.

the spring inside you idle air control could be deformed not allowing air to pass through correctly try replacing that and see what you come up with i had a similar prob with my mini me and it fixed my prob

I agree. Measure the fuel pressure.

Also check for a clogged cat and air filter.

fuel filter can cause the problem you are haing

lets see... i dont have a cat, just a test pipeand i have a brand new k&n filter... im thinkin maybe more along the lines of fuel pressure... i guess only thing it could be then would be the pump itself. its just weired it can keep up with the rpms... just not the load
could it be the regulator at athe end of the rail?
ill change out the filter tommorow... anyone see a problem with buying an autozone filter? the reason i ask is because honda has to order it and it will take until tuesday to get here.

thanks for the help, keep ideas flowin
