I have the same problem at high revs. The car starts to shake. What can it be? Can somebody help me?

...Honda Acura tech... My 1993 Integra GS-R had a starter problem sometimes, and the problem was the starter relay under the driver's dash... Also that R.P.M problem (with a brand new clutch and pressure plate installed) that was caused by the ICM, which was replaced and fixed the problem..
I recommend investing in a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) distributor... Because some Integras were made in Canada and some in Japan, but parts like the distributor were built in the U.S.A... So they have a lot of problems...
I bought a distributor from the JDM website used for fifty bucks... And have zero problems...
Also, the guy with the shaking problems... Usually that could be four things...
Number one is bad drive axles from the boot ripping, and all the grease leaking out, then distorting the axle from the two joint...
Number two can be destroyed wheel bearing in the spindle...
Number three, bad rims..
Number four can be bad frontend alignment...
Also note that the fuel relay's only job is to get a signal from the ignition relay to start the fuel pump; that's it... The main relay is only for the ECU to send commands to the engine... Has nothing to do with the fuel relay and ICM... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE...
P.S. at all autopart stores, they have a book on the 1990-1993 Integra models in detail to help you do the repairs yourself...

Had same issue and took the main relay out of my 92 Integra (under the driver's side dash). Re-soldered it, and voila, it's back to normal.
I also had a bad coil in the distributor a few months ago, and it was similar to the bad relay, except it would die completely and not restart till the coil cooled off.
Also change your PVC while you're at it, and apply connector gel to underhood component plugs, like the distributor and throttle position sensor. Maybe change that too LOL. Good luck.

Hi, I am a owner of a 90 Acura Integra GS, and I had the same problem with mine about a year ago. So I'm going to tell what you I did to fix the problem. Replaced the main fuse... located under the driver's side panel under the steering wheel. Says MAIN RELAY on the fuse. They cause a lot of problems for everybody, and everybody should know this.

I worked in a garage a while ago, and a Civic came in with a similar problem. In the end, the catalytic converter was so clogged with carbon that as soon as the engine turned over and you pressed the gas, it died. The owner used crap gas and never had the cats replaced. Let us know what happened.
