Good question. If you're trying to use a Civic throttle cable on a gsr, it's not long enough to fully open the throttle body.

Check your wiring and also check to see if your obd system is functioning correctly. Does the check engine light come on briefly before you start the vehicle? It could also be a funky corrosion/connection issue with your dizzy.

That's what I was thinking. Like it's maybe defaulting and cutting fuel. Or it's really out of time.

Do yourself a favor and see if your vtec solenoid screen doesn't have rtv or sealant junk in it

It could be out of time. It would stumble earlier though I would think. I've got money on the easiest fix. It's something stupid, gauranteed!

Yes. 90% of the time things like this are as easy as scewing the gas
cap back on until you hear three clicks or even checking to make sure your oil is at the right level. Without enough oil, the oil pressure light would flicker and disengage vtec everytime with a sputter and a loss in rpm's. I hope that's not the case though because you'd be out some money for a bottom end :/

Remove your wire harness and double check every connection.
