Hey guys, possible bad pump? I don't know but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

A little back ground, i drive a 00 prelude. i just did a tune up 3G miles ago including oil change, plugs and wires, and cap and rotor, changed pcv valve last oil change. i drove it down to florida and back (thus the 3000 miles) and didn't have any problems whatsoever. i get home and the next day im driving and when i get on it and it's passed 4G RPM's it starts sputtering and in VTEC it sputters so bad it sounds like a rev limiter.

checked the plugs and wires, checked the fuel pump fuses and here i am. pleaassee someone throw out some suggestions.

if it was fuel pump, an easy way to diagnose it is to turn on the car but not start it.

Maybe let your seats down (the rear ones) and listen for a "whirring". If you hear that sound, that means the fuel pump is priming" If you don't, that's a good indication that your fuel pump is out.

Other suggestions is check your oil.
