    Check your grounds.

    I would normally say the igniter could be the problem, but that SHOULD be new with the dizzy... that's another possibility, though (and though unlikely, it's not impossible that the igniter would be dead in the new dizzy too)

        Where did you run the new ground?

        And you checked all of them? They're all clean and tight, and the wires are all in good condition?

          Vacuum leaks or a hose loose?

                    when it sputteres does the tach sputter as well? this could be an indication of fuel.

                      Check your MAP sensor. Not only does it control fueling, but it controls ignition timing as well. Your problem seems to be under load and different vacuum levels which is measured by the MAP. I'm suggesting this since you've gone through 2 separate dizzy's already.

                      When was the last time you replaced your o2 sensor?

                        I had this issue w/ my H22 a couple months ago. It was fine up til like 5k then it sputtered like crazy going through VTEC. And it would randomly die when I'm waiting at a stoplight. Since your F22A1 is internal coil, I would assume its the coil taking a crap on you. They're about 65 bucks for a new one. I upgraded to this Accel Supercoil higher output one which is actually cheaper than a regular replacement coil but puts out 20% more power, so if its your coil going bad, this would be a good upgrade. They can be found at Autozone I think its part number Accel 11076

                          update on new parts installed 2 dizzy's, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel pump, and swapped out ecu with known working one. update on how its running it stars and able to drive it but starts to sputter when giving it too much gas.... yes the tach jumps around when its sputtering, and i didnt know a 90 cb7 had a MAP sensor where is it at. the car has never had a o2 sensor ran fine with out one.. and as for the coil suggestion the dizzys had brand new coils in them

                            No Oxy sensor - I suspect you have IMA then correct? Leave the screw as it is from factory - Don't change it.
                            Did this problem just happen one day or slowly got worse over time?

                            Have you checked your sparkplugs?
                            Don't rule out 2ndhand parts - I've had several brand new OEM parts which have been faulty.
