I would suspect the EGR passageways inside the intake manifold are severly plugged
See DIY on thermoblock install/EGR cleaning
Call acura and ask if you are covered on the EGR warranty 1-800-382-2238x5 Have your VIN number ready
on the 99s they were having the dealer clean them and install a sleeve in the port- the sleeve doesnt really help but they tried!

well for some of us it can be a tune up but i gave my car a tune up already, so its defenetly not that for me, but it can be that some of us need to clean the egr ports.. i have to clean mine so im sure once i do that my car will be at its 100%

how many miles on your car. sounds like a problem I had for a while. I changed my spark plugs and replace some of my distributors and it fixed it right up. it's probably a sign telling you one of the distributor is going out. I chose to ignore it and it took out three of them... which is very uncommon for an Acura.
