Default SHUDDERING ENGINE/BLOWN "HEADER GASKET"!!!HELP!!!!

Hey guys/ladies...i have an important quesiton for all, i hope someone that knows what they are talkin about can answer this question or at least help me solve this problem i have. So i have had a blown gasket in between the flange that connects the upper manifold to the lower (y pipe) header......and i was going home from my university to get it fixed and when i was driving i noticed that my car was shuttering( like when someone stalls a car and its kinda jerky). This only seemed to happen when i was at about 1800 and 3000 rpms. It was so bad that it would make my engine lose all power and it would make back firing sounds...then when the rpms hit 3000 everything seemed fine but when they went back down the problem kept happening!!! So as long as i was about 70 mph the car seemed to run fine....then when i hit the mountain pass my check engine light came on...oil level is fine and so is all important fluids....CAN ANYONE FIGURE THIS ONE OUT FOR ME PLEASE SO I CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!my car is an 92 accord with a F22A6 engine swap w/ chikara headers

THNXS IN ADVANCE

Go to a local AutoZone and see what the CEL code is.

just learn how to check the CEL yourself. Its not hard. Just jump that ecu thing behind the passanger side kick panel with a paper clip. Your check engine light will flash and give you a code. long flashes = 10 and short flashes = 1. So 6 long flashes followed by 7 short ones would be a code 67 . Then look up what the different codes mean and then you'll know your problem.
