I have a 98 Integra with headers and cold intake with a two inch exhaust. Lately when I step on the gas the car feel like the gas is being cut off. The car then like sputters.
It started a couple of months ago, I thought I had some bad gas. So I ran thru that tank and stopped buying the
cheap gas. And it seemed to stop, however, it is more and more often. Any ideas. I am always afraid to bring it to mechanic without knowing ahead of time what the problem is?

 

yeah im kinda having that same problem dude, im thinking mine is the fuel pump, injectors or possibly a short in the main relay...i asked the same question a little bit ago...

for the record, its a header...not being a jerk hah, just bugs me

 

I did not even notice when I typed it, sorry. However, I am not a dude.......lol. Not using as an excuse for my lack of knowledge though. How long have you had the problem?

 

haha sorry i didnt even look at the screenname...yeah it is progressively gettin worse, noticed it prolly a few weeks back...it comes and goes in stints...

 

start with changing ur fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator-if the pump goes bad the car wont start-also try a fuel injector cleaner as well-bad gas could have clogged the fuel-if all else fails bring it to a shop and have them do a fuel pressure test-any check engine lights on?

 

I am having a similar problem with mine. It didn't happen until my o2 went bad.

 

nope no CEL...i feel its definetly fuel related though...obv...lol

 

My engine light has been on since I bought it six months ago. Now do not laugh he told me to disconnect the battery and it would reset. yes it did for 2 hours. I have used fuel injector cleaner several times and it helps for a while. Can I chg the fuel filter myself or is it that I would
have to take it to a mechanic.

 

Do you know why your engine light is on? If not, take to a place like Autozone. They will scan the code for free.

Sounds like an issue I used to have with my Integra... Turned out to be a bad primary O2 sensor.
