I've had the same problem since I bought my Integra in August 2004. Except it happens around 3.5k for me. Never figured it out and it annoys the **** out of me.

Anyone know where all the ground wires are for a 97 GSR? I replaced the wire that runs from the valve cover 2 months ago because it was really bad.

I recently got a turbo setup for my GSR, it ran fine the first hour after tuning it. Then at 7K rpm the tach would just jump all the way and bouce past 9K. I was told it is the ICM/ Ignitor, will replacing this part correct the problem. Also the car seems to be slower now, is this also a ICM problem? The coil, cap and rotor are new.
