If you do an LS swap on a DX you are supposed to upgrade the fuel pump. I have a walbro 255. Could this possibly be part of your problem?

A good way to figure this out would be to purchase a B&M fuel pressure guage that plugs into your fuel filter. Compare the pressure with specs, and make sure when you rev the motor the fuel pressure increases. I don't think a walbro is necessary for a stock honda motor. But then again, I am not an expert either.
