Default CRX is stuttering...HELP!

i have 1990 crx dx. it has the dpfi. just recently ive been having a major problem with it stuttering and its annoying the hell out of me.

it stutters real bad from 0-25mph only. and it only does it when the engine is warmed up. it drives great with no stuttering at all when the car is first started and the engine is cold. im really stumped on this one. i just cant figure out what would do this only when the car is warmed up, especially since ive replaced many things on it.

this is what has been replaced recently:
-headgasket set
-fuel filter
-primary injector
-spark plugs
-dizzy cap
-coil and ignitor tested good
-spark plug wires tested good, they are the oem ones from my d15b7
-intake
-o2 sensor
-iat sensor
-fast idle thermo valve
-thermostat
-valve stem seals
-compression tested good

ill think of more later...

it also burns oil like crazy. it has since the day i got it, even after all that mentioned above. i think the only thing left that could be causing it to burn oil is the oil rings maybe? but it doesnt bother me to have to add oil every week, its this stuttering that has got me going crazy. thanks for any help!

i already tried that...maybe my timing belt skipped a tooth.. i know it was put on right i always triple check that ****.

if it skipped a tooth, that would explain why my timing was off.

i dont know though i had a car before that was off by one tooth and it hardly ran.

Timing doesn't make sense, since it only happens when it's warmed up. Maybe check your O2 sensor since it is bypassed when you start up until the engine reaches operating temp.

If your car is stuttering you should probably get it some time with a speech therapist.
