Not a smooth ride? hiccups / jerk

Hi guys,

When accelerating an Civic EK it has 1 or 2 hiccups / jerk going up to 60km .. I'm driving it steadily. Its auto btw.

And it happens sometimes when breaking and it gets close to 30km - 0km.. it

What can the issue be?


Thank you

I have had this problem with civics in the past. Ended up being a problem with the distributor. Is the engine light flashing on this is happening?

Don't all autos jerk when accelerating?

I never notice an Engine light on/flash while its driving..

I previously drove an old camry n it drives better lol (smoothness) .. feels as if I'm in a manual car with this EK..

Distributor is that costly?

I find manuals are less jerky then autos. If you let the revs drop in the right spot before u release the clutch its smooth as fk. My mums new camry shifts gear harsher then my ek and its an auto.

maybe an o2 sensor? my o2 sensor cables had a loose connection to the actual sensor and it caused the car to 'hiccup' lol
