My car was acting weird last night. Please read.
Yesterday, i was driving over to my friends house to pick something up. I left the car running, went inside the house, got my stuff and got back in my car. As i started to leave, my car started to shake as if it was about to stall, but it didn't. When i stepped on the gas, the rpm went up and then went down really fast. The rpm went down so fast that i couldn't even rev up the car. When i was driving in 3rd or 4th gear, the car shaked when i stepped on the gas as if i was still in 1st gear. I stopped at a parking lot and turned off my car. After a about a minute, i started her back up again. I rev the car up and everything felt fine. The rpm went up and this time it went down slowly like it should of. I started to drive home and everything seemed fine. My motor is practically brand new. It's a 2000 b16a2 with around 20,xxx miles on it. Does anybody know what was wrong with my car last night?? Will it ever happen again?

Sounds like a fuel injector or two got stuck. It happens. Next time you have the running problem, pop the hood and tap the injectors with a wrench (not real hard though). If it runs better after that, you have an injector (or more) that is starting to fail). Later.

to check the injectors, take a long screwdriver and put the tip against the body of the injectors. Put your ear against the handle. They should all be making a "tick-tick-tick" sound.
