I have a 1992 Honda Accord. when i stop at the traffic light it acts like it wants to cut off like its not getting fuel (it sometimes do it when you're driving also and you have to give it a little tap on the gas). my husband and another mechanic says its the catalytic converter. before i spend funds i want to make sure it is true..Help

Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
