Default Loading up on fuel then stumbling

I have had this problem for a while no but it has just started to become more frequent. If I am in stop in go traffic or If I am just in a situation where I have to rev and clutch alot an example being parallel parking. The car will from the smell of it load up on fuel. When this happens it will idle correctly untill I try and accelerate then I have NOTHING it will just fall on its face. The only way to fix it is to rev it up and clear it out. I have a intake and exhaust no boost or anything like that so im stumped. Thanks for reading.

learn to use less revs when maneuvering and steady clutch control. sounds like it's flooding, which is weird..
could be driver error here..

my s2k has been doing something that sounds similar to what yours is doing but mine only does it when i have the ac on and i think its just from a lack of torque. i just rev it up more when i leave a stop light and it doesnt fall on its face

I am pretty sure its not from driver error I have had many hondas and this has never happened, and my car hasnt always done this. I am leaning towards fuel pressure regulator.

it was just one thing to rule out - could be a few things. I've had Hondas before too, but this car is very strange when you're in heavy traffic. Possibly clutch related too

This could very well be. I have horrible tranny wine and my tranny clunks in every gear with the clutch to the floor. More so on low rpm shifts. The only reason I havnt pulled the tranny out is becasue its my daily.

mine was doing this... putting an aem ems and tuning it fixed it.

do the map wack, check the voltage on the tps, reset the ecu, change the plugs, etc

This is a very common problem with the AP1's.

Do what J Dogg suggested...
