if it happens after the car warms up then its probably the 02 sensor. it cycles in an open default mode. this part can last several yrs in hondas. well over 100,000 miles. they get lazy at about 80,000mi. hondas have large ones compared to american made 02 sensors. a bit of a pain to remove too if its the original. im not familiar with a 93 se u may have 2 02 sensors. one on the exhaust manifold and the other farther down in the exhaust.
also does your tach jump. it could be the distributor, coil or ignitor.
No I haven't replace my pcv valve nor the oxygen sensor yet. By the way, whats the pcv valve and where is it located? About the O2 sensor, I think I might have two but I'll check tomorow and let you know about it. Oh yea, my car only does this when it's warm up, not when it's cold. What do you mean by "does my tach jump?"
