Default B16a Spit and Sputter

I cant seem to figure out the problem with my car. I've checked the compression. (205 205 205 205) I checked the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. All in good working order. I checked the TPS and it registers fine. No codes are flashing on the computer. The problem is the car will sputter along at a cruising speed of say 40mph. At a lite throttle load it will start to spit and sputter like as if the engine dropped a cylinder. If you push the accelerator down just a little bit further the sputter will go away and power comes back. Any thoughts??

I've ruled out all vacuum leaks. What electrical wires should I look for? How do I test them? What do I look for?

from your discription it sounds like its within your ignition system...I know you said you checked your wires and plugs, but you may want to check you coils and module also...if thier fine then check the gap on your plugs
