Did he adjust the fuel pressure or distributor? Stock ECU?

I've seen this type of thing a few times before...

One time the timing was off... Check the timing belt and distributor...

Another time the distributor was going out and it was starting to break up after vtec...

Another time the IABs were not opening and it was restricting airflow...

You may want to also check the plugs and plug wires... Just for fun... Maybe try replacing them...

Hope that helps... Good luck...
