Default Sputtering into vtec

hey guys. Here is my problem. My car drive fine and all and pulled hard and nice. Its a k24a2 in a 02 rsx. I dropped into third and then threw it into fourth and the car started to sputter and have like no power. The car drives perfect in low rpms and what not. Perfect idle and all. But now at full throttle it goes fine until i hit vtec and bam like no power and sputtering.


any help would be much appreciated. I just placed the plugs like 2 months ago and i wanna put good ones in. Which do you guys suggest?

please help. feel free to text me 954-328-6166

thanks ahead of time.

These were my plugs and they look good.



I replaced them with brand new ngk iridiums and same crap.

car pops vtec but then there is no power and sputters.....

no cels

it comes as a complete assembly, it's inside the gas tank under the rear seat:
fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel gauge sender, fuel pressure regulator.
