Today I went to take my little cousin for a ride since he helped me with my car, and he was down from lake elsinore, so i let my baby warm up, and cruise down the street, put the pedal to the floor and just when I hit vtec, it started popping and studdering, It almost felt like a lack of fuel but I don't understand that, if it was a lack of fuel i would be getting that every time I stepped on it, and it only does it once in a while. Also when we got back I popped the hood, and there was smoke coming from the back of the motor, it smelt like burnt rubber, and don't think this is related. I made sure all the rubber hoses were away from the motor, but that's the only thing I can think of that it could be. Anyone have a similar issue?
thanks matt

Ooohh check your radiator fluid levels... I had something like this happen to me before and in my case it was the intake manifold gasket.

It's probably ignition related. Usually at higher rpms if the ignition system is old it may not fire a cylinder(s). I would check wires, spark plugs and distributor's cap and rotor.

I checked all the fluid levels when it happened oil,water,etc. All my ignition items are new except for the coil. But I will double check that stuff. Nothing is leaking as far as the burning smell and smoke. I'm gonna heat it up today and get underneath it and take a better look.
