Default Flames out the exhast ?!

When I hit the gas the engine doesn't respond right away it has a seriously delayed response and if i hit the gas 2 hard it just shuts off im almost positive its the tps if it was the map it would at least still respond. Im even shotting flames out the exhast i lowered my fuel pressure but still same problem. any suggestions welcome also b4 I had this problem I had a hunting idle (hi-low idle) any suggestions on that id love to hear how to either bypass or fix thanks. I have a 99 gsr motor with various mods but i didnt have this problem a few days ago so its diffently not any of the mods it has to be a sensor problem

With my last B16 I had serious camshaft problems and my exhaust would shoot flames when I switched gears at high RPM. It was suggested to me that the resonator (yeah I live in Virginia, what can you do) was backing up too much unburnt fuel mixture in the tailpipe and it was detonating. I personally think maybe it was a valve overlap issue. Never got to find out because the cams eventually ground down to nothing and the motor was useless.

As far as the throttle not responding it could be TPS, but maybe you should check the fuel pump pickup to be safe? I blew an accord with a dirty fuel pump pickup. When you mash the gas does it ever hesitate after it's started accelerating, kind of like a machine gun action? on off on off on off real quick?

If you have excessive fuel,runnung rich it will cause flames out the tail pipe.
