Default intermittent problem misfire

whats up guys. I wondering if some one might have an idea for me. I have a 93 CX hatch, B18b1. Untill the last week runs great. NO CEL, and yes the CEL bulb light up when something does go wrong, I know it will light up if you unplug a sensor. any way I have an intermittent problem. It misses out an runs poor after idleing at a stop light untill you take off again. Then runs poor untill you get above 3500 rpm or so. then stops missing out and runs fine, Feels like VTEC at times. Since the problem is intermittent i do not suspect plugs, although I will pull them and inspect them later today., I dont think TPS either, I have no vacuum leaks, valves adjusted to spec, no exhaust leaks. I run 94 octane all the time. If you get all over it It still pulls hard spinning almost all the way through 2nd. I was thinking distributor related maybe. I will have it back to the shop later today, just figured some one might have an idea!

sounds like its missing and needs a new cap and rotor. this would not cause a CEL to come on.

I will be inspecting the ignition system a little later today when I get it to the shop, but I was was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking maybe the FPR might be bad, because she does still run good a WOT.
