Default '95 GSR Sputtering

Hi -- I have a 95 Integra GSR. This summer I have driven that thing like crazy -- since July put about 10,000 miles on it because I moved and have had a long commute to work after checking out various cities in Texas. It has been very reliable so far, but inevitably something needs to be fixed. Anyway, I have changed the oil every 3000 miles and whatnot. I'm coming up on 120,000 miles. I am going to have the timing belt changed (and it was changed at 60,000 previously). Also will have oil seals replaced and get a new power steering hose. My current issue is that in the past 2 days or so my car has been sputtering in low RPMs. When idling it is ok, but when I take off from a stop, sometimes it sputters, and then all of a sudden it seems to engage normally and get up and go. Also if I am driving around and pull into say, a parking lot, engage the clutch, and then disengage the clutch in 2nd or 3rd gear, sometimes the sputtering will happen, kind of a "chug-chug-chug" and then it goes ok. It doesn't happen every single time, and it is not dependent on what gear I am in -- only on RPMs. Any idea what is causing this?

do a basic tune-up and see how it goes from there.

Definitely try changing your plugs and wires. Mine did that for a while, and I was lucky because that's all it took to fix it.

I'm having the same problem. when i stop for like 5min it goes away, but comes back if i push it, does yours do the same. only thing i have not touched was the IACV and the cap/rotor. try replacing those first before you try to get a new IACV cause it wont be cheap.
