If it doesn't do it in 3rd or 5th, then I have no idea what it could be. Have you verified that it does NOT do it in 5th? It may be a fuel or oil pressure problem that just doesn't show up in the lower gears due to reduced load times. Check to make sure that your oil level is topped off. Otherwise, take it to the dealer.

David B had an issue that sounded a bit like this, and it was caused by a bunch of "muck" in the oil. I think some liquid gasket was left floating around inside the engine when it was built, and it was blocking the VTEC solenoid, or something. It took quite a while for the dealer to figure it out.
