Ok check the spark plugs to see if its in order. If that doesn't do nothing it could be your distributor cap and/or coil or both. My 2000 si did the same but when I was in a stop light it felt like it wanted to die so I had it on N then when I had to go I had to press the gas slow and not floor it or else it would shut off (like if I would of put it on Nutral) check that out to see if its that I hope I helped. Good luck.
