Default Lost power, sometimes.

2002 Honda Civic. Since the winter time I have had a problem with engine power when driving after the car has been idle for a short time(parked at the mall). It'll start but once you start to drive it'll start to sputter, like the engine isn't getting fuel. I'll be pressing the same amount on the pedal but not much happening. I can floor it and it'll pick up and won't happen after the initial 3-4 mins of driving. Mentioned it to the dealer when I had an oil change but they could not duplicate it, no surprise there. Replaced plugs and used fuel system cleaner with no luck. Any ideas.

Thank you. Andrew"

That sounds to me like a timing issue.... Something has caused the motor to jump time... OR something within the DIS coils/sensors.

Any DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes, CEL's)?
