Default Car stalls out of nowhere no CEL

When driving my car starts jerking out of nowhere. It feels like the car looses 80% of its power but still struggles to move if I keep on the gas. If I let off the gas the car stalls out. I can flip the key on and off and it turns right back on and usually it goes away. I am getting no CEL and i hear no strange noises or anything while this is happening. I am clueless as to where to start looking for the problem. Im thinking its not mechanical because it runs perfect at times. Any ideas?

I have an LS/VTEC with a chipped p28 .

What's your fuel pressure set at? Any V-AFC, FPR or anything?

Check the color of your spark plugs, sounds like you are running lean.
