Icon6 New guy... having some issues

Let me start by saying I was directed to Honda-Tech by some members @ The Car Lounge. I bought a 1994 Integra GSR 4 door last November for daily duties and the car has been great until Sunday. It's completely stock and nearing 170k miles. So here's my problem. I was running some errands and noticed that starting in 1st there was some slight hesitation (it actually felt like a momentary power cut). This happened twice. The car then operated normally for the next hour or so when I was rev matching into second the car stalled. I got it to restart after 2 long cranks and it idled just fine but when I went to get moving it bogged and died again. I restart the car again and it still idles fine but I discover that anything more than the slightest amount of throttle will kill it.

To try to keep it relatively short here's what I have; the car dies under anything but the lightest throttle only from idle. Literally the power loss is very sudden and if I stay on it doesn't rev. If I can get moving it pulls to redline under full throttle or anything in between without any hesitation. I went ahead and changed the fuel filter and checked fuel pressure which was 55psi with the regulator vacuum hose pinched and 45 with it connected. Timing checks fine and there are no present faults. So I am thinking I have a ignition issue somewhere. What should I be looking at next?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

1st suggestion try to keep ur post simple and split it into multiple of small paragraphs related by topic/issue. its just easier to read it, at least for me

with ur problem i say start from spark plugs/wires
maybe dist cap/rotor (those 2 can be visually checked cause u can see wear easily)

No codes or CEL. Car idles fine. Wires and plugs are newer. I just checked resistance at the primary coil and found it a bit high (range is .6 to .8 ohms, i got 1.0 ohms). So that will be replaced tomorrow. Let's hope that is the issue, I plan to take the car to some autocross events this summer.
