Problems - 1993 Honda Prelude (Car chugs)
So recently my car began performing awkwadly. After the car has run for a while, it will chug and die out. It led me to believe the spark plugs had issues, so I changed them, and while I don't know if that is still a problem, the car will now 'chug' under full throttle. Basically it stops producing any power, farts and sputters, and ultimately I can only give it about 1/4th of the throttle, anything more and it will bug out.
I'm thinking it's possible the distributor cap, or the entire distributor. Any ideas?
Mods: F22B-minor mods. intake, tanabe hyper medalion, neuspeed race springs, KYB shocks n struts

My 'Lude is far too ugly to post pictures of.
I went through a "ricer" phase, and over the years it's just fallen apart. I love the car too damn much to let go of it though, it's my baby...just in terrible shape. Sentimental value and all that jazz :P

Did some more research, seems more and more like it might be the Main Relay and not the Disty / Spark plugs.
Mods: BUILT F22B DOHC Bored .40 over, studded, guarded
fuel filter my friend. sounds pretty much like all the tell tail signs of what i look for when i get a car at work that has a chug or hesitation. (i work at a dealership certified tech)
