Yesterday my car developed a sputter and back fire just as I was getting home but I am not getting any lights. I stopped driving it, replaced the plugs today and its still there. It is only at low RPMs (1-2.5k) and its intermittent. It sounds like one cylinder will miss three times or so and then catch, sometimes only missing once, but its intermittent. The car also will not die at idle, it stays at normal RPMs and just sputters and will backfire if driven. Any help is greatly appreciated here. The car is going to Honda tomorrow but I would like to save the money if someone had the same issue. Car is a 2000 with 96k on it. Only modifications are I/H/E.

 

Possibly a coil pack on it's way out?

 

Yup, I have a 2000, and I just had one go out, and it was doing the same thing. Another thing mine would do it, around 6K rpms, it would do a slight stutter right before VTEC engaged. Changed the coil pack and she runs great! Theres a video at the bottom of the post.
