could be several possibilities, including dreamgetter1's suggestion...
post this in the "under the hood" forum-
any recent mods or have you driven it any differently recently?

A miss right before V-tec is usually a MAP sensor. I would order one from http://www.handa-accessories.com/s2000maint.html
for only $45 and give it a try.

I had the same problem.

MAP sensor for sure.

If in warranty Honda will replace it (with some gentle nudging of the dealer )
