Definitely want to check plugs/wires/distributer, the basics of the ignition system. Check your CEL's as well. Might not hurt to pull wires while it's idling to see if a certain cylinder isn't firing at all.

....does your car sound like a "helicopter", lagging and moving slower than "running on 3 cylinders? If so.....IT'S YOUR SPARK PLUG WIRES.

I had that problem when I was running MSD wires. Switched it out with stock Honda wires and it went back to normal. MSD spark plug wires SUCK!!!
