automatic? [don't presume that "d15b7 tells us enough.] if so, it's
the egr valve and passages clogged. also check the transmission fluid
is not over-full and that the kick-down cable is adjusted properly.
as a separate issue, do not "clean" the distributor cap and button:
1. unless you've taken the essential precaution of wearing gloves,
sweaty fingers can leave salty residues on them which attracts moisture
and causes spark leakage. same applies to plugs and leads.
2. if the cap is aftermarket and has brass contacts, oxide product can
be conductive and you're simply smearing it around. replace with oem
honda cap with all aluminum contacts which doesn't have this problem.

was the timing belt changed recently? belt may be off a tooth. if the
distributor is not centered to get it timed, that's the tell-tale.

pedantically speaking, the important thing is that they're lined up
/after/. did you follow the checking procedure outlined in the factory
honda manual? haynes manuals are notoriously awful. loose belts jump
teeth too, so even if timed before, they can be out later. again, check
the ignition timing and confirm that the distributor is close to center.
beyond that, you'll need to be more specific with diagnosis rather than
this "hopefully lucky" guesswork stuff. a compression test might be in
order for instance.

My 96 EX 5 speed had a similar sort of flat spot, even before the belt
was changed. Which made it kind of a PITA when I was Auto-Xing. I
don't know if it was specifically that, but after the O2 sensor was
changed (via a CARB ordered recall) it "went away". Problem is, there
were several other changes at the same time.

Hi Mike
Sounds like a "Vacumm" issue. Check for any leaks.
