Well instead of "thinking" to check those things, why don't you check the basics first, then, if your problem still persists, proceed to ask specific questions.

Saying stuff like "my car has a miss" is like saying "I don't feel well today"

Both statements can cover a wide array of problems.

Atleast while you are taking this stuff out, inspect it. What did the old plugs look like ? Was there signs of leanness ? richness? incorrect gapping ?

How are the wires ? cracks ? And how did you determine that the cap and rotor "looked ok" ?

You can't just change things and expect it all to work out. You must draw conclusions as to why these things happen. It will help you better understand how you engine works and that will soon lead you to how to make it produce the most HP out of what you do.

The plugs looked grey... and they looked like i might be running a lil lean.. but i talked to someone at honda and they said that sounds normal... my vtec controller is set at stock settings so it shouldn't be running lean... I'm just going to have to take it to acura tomorrow i guess.. Thanks for all the feed back and help... I really appreciate it..
