Default I feel like a idiot! 00 Civic EX cuts out

Ok to start i have a 00 ex coupe 5 speed. My problem is my car cuts out but the weard thing about it is just once and exactly the same time when my car is started. Ok every morning or say when i go park at a public place and i am going to be there for a little while and i shut my car off or say in the morning im starting it up for the first time of the day, but it will drive for about a 60 seconds and it will just drop the rpms all the way and sputter realy bad and if your on the gas it jerks and it makes me like like a ****en ricer ***get thats just romping on the gas becouse when you give it a little gas it will take off like a rocket as soon as what ever its doing stops and i have started to just push in the clutch to stop it as soon as i feel the power loss but i dont wana do that any more its starting to get old. To try and fix this i have put new plugs, wires, dizzy, i have good spark i changed the fuel filter and checked the fuel pressure and it was 10 over stock dont know why? but what could the freaken problem be i need help!! thanks.....

Sorry about that I thought my car is cutting out is good but ok. Weard thing is no engine light. And with the O2 censor it only happens once and thats like a min after i start my car wouldnt a bad censor be an all the time problem?

Change your Throttle position sensor. It is located on the back of your throttle body. The sensor is riveted in, however you could find another throttle body probably fairly easy..craigslist..ebay. These sensors are dialed in and set from the factory. I believe you can dial one in with an ohm meter or something like that. I had the same problem, found a throttle body at a junkyard with sensors attached, installed, and problem fixed. Good luck fellow ricer
