Weird engine problem?

Hello again guys, so today I'm driving around in 4th gear and the car starts stuttering so I give it a bit more fuel and it keeps stuttering but then all of a sudden stops and the car starts driving normally again. Engine pulls fine, no smoke in Vtec or anything, however it does smell pretty rich. No check engine lights or anything. Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm leaning toward plugs + leads but I've also read that the Lambda sensor can be a bit dodgey? 

 

Thanks for the help guys.

Check the plugs and leads first chap, but to me the points to ignition. Lambda usually throws a light, but not always because it's nice like that :lol:

Check the basics bits first and see what you find.

Cheers lads, I've also got cone filter on it with no heat shield, could it be heat soak or anything? Will have a look at the plugs tomorrow but if they do need replacing what are a good set for the B18C4? 

 

Again, thanks for the help :)

Been driving it for the past few days and had no problems with it, but it came back for a few seconds today. It's having a major service carried out tomorrow so hopefully it'll sort everything out. Bought some of that injector cleaner as well and I'll make sure the plugs are all in properly.

 

Thanks for the help fellas.
