Icon3 Need help,Cars acting funny .

Ok guys i've searched and really didn't find anything to help me find out what's wrong with my car btw its a stock 96 Integra RS. Okay so it's been sputtering like hesistating to go when you give it gas (under 3.5k RPM). .I changed my spark plugs,Fuel filter, and used that Gumout fuel injector cleaner.I was still having the problem so somebody told me it could be my TPS sensor.So I bought a new TPS sensor and installed it yesteday and today I was driving an all of a sudden it started to sputter again?. . -_- It's very aggravating!! sorry for the long post any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks.

If the car is idling funny while its doing this check your Iac valve, it could be clogged. theres a DIY on here about cleaning it yourself and it doesnt take very long

It could be a whole bunch of stuff. Any CEL light? Do you know if your cat is still good or not? Was your sparkplug properly gap? Consider looking at your rotor, cap, and dizzy. Check timing just in case. Best of luck.

Thanks, I should've went into more detail.CEL was but solved the problem.Sparkplugs I got them car specifiic so they come pre gapped.Car is on timing got it checked with a timing gun . And cap and rotor was my next bet. . if not that then spark plug wires?

Check the resistance of the plug wires with a multimeter. There are lots of potential causes for your problem. You'll have to systematically check every part of your timing, ignition, and fuel delivery systems until you catch the culprit.

If ur cap rotor plugs and wires look good heres what to do next, check that coil, ignitor and the fuel pump and ecu. Ask one of ur buddies to come over and swap out dizzies than ask them to borrow their ecu for a second then if all else fails check the fuel pump and/or replace. good luck
