Default DX with B16a2 Sputtering/missfire HELP GOING CRAZY...

Ok so I bought this B16a2 DX hatch about a week ago, its been running great I washed the engine second day I had it and still ran great till yesterday.. I got in the car star t it up and went to grab a bit was parked for about 2 hours and when I came out it was raining I get in the car and all is well till I get to the first red light and put the car in Neutral, as I did this the RPM's went to almost 0 the light turned green put the car in gear and it just Sputtered all the way from then on. I have a B16a2 with 1998 harness and running a CTR ecu in it. I tried swapping ECU's with chipped P28 and Stock p28 and still does it.. Also checked all plugs and wires all seem well, Car is missfiring aloto and running like Sh*t I have NO CEL's and I have no clue what it could be..Could it be the Dizzy I just bought one so if this could be it lmk so I can put it on or if anyone has came across this please help this is annoying...

See if you knocked a vacume line off when spraying your engine off... a vacume leak will cause a missfire, and will have a funny noise to it.
