civicon, it doesn't throw codes, but I could monitor the cylinders, spark, and fuel injectors from a laptop if I had one. I CAN watch the injector pulse width (I'm guessing the #1) and Throttle Position from my Apexi boost controller. Both of those are normal. The throttle position doesn't really jump around or anything... it stays within .3% probably caused by my jittering foot. It doesn't read anything with the gas pedal let off, like it should. The idle is jumpy in that the engine is misfiring. I've never heard detonation in a honda, but it doesn't sound like pinging. It sounds like a popping sound coming out of the exhaust.

doc, when you say "igniter" do you mean my spark plugs or the distributor? The plugs were fine when I last checked them, and I pulled the cap off of my distributor today, to find everything looking pretty much how it should. There was a little blackening on the face of the rotor that arcs to the contacts, but it didn't look abnormal.

Thanks for the help guys... keep the suggestions coming.
