how many miles are on the car?
Sounds like the Idle Air Controll valve is acting up. Check your coolant level. If that's ok you MAY need to replace it. Sometimes cleaning will work. Do a search and you will find an overwhealming heap of help on this issue.
As far as a sputtering that may be a different issue.

If you did all of that (and made sure to purge the air from the system) the valve is probably bad. It happens. Just get one from your dealer (don't trust parts store stuff like that).
Have you changed your sparkplugs or wires?

there is a little bolt wit a hole by the thermostat housing loosen that up while the car is on and warmed up leave it open til no air comes out anymore. You should do that every time you mess wit the coolant system

Yep that person is right but the car running is not needed.
What brand of plugs wires and the such did you buy? Hondas don't like Autolites Or bosch crap. Only NGK or Denso.

Clean the IAC with choke cleaner or a brake parts cleaner that is methylene chloride based. The air will blow out the dust, but will not remove hard deposits. You also want to check the fast idle valve before you spend like $275 on a IACV. Take the top off the Valve (far right on the front of the plenum three little screws in the top) . Inside is a thimble surrounded by a donut. Some times it gets loose and can be screwed back down so that it seats properly. I also am of the opinion that Idle surge, caused by IACV or FITV or vacuum leak, will not cause a sputtering upon acceleration. Could you elaborate a little more. Does it do it when the engine is cold or only when it warms up or both? Does it ALWAYS do this or is the problem intermittant?
