Car jerks while accelerating.

My 2002 Honda Accord with 82500 miles on it jerks a bit when accelerating. Nothing happens to the speed but the rpm drops and then again increases and then the car picks up speed. What might be the problem ?

Is this a good question?

what engine size is in your Accord? Any change in gas mileage? When was the last service?

by

The engine size is 2.3L 4Cyl., I haven't really looked at the gas mileage. The last service was done in May when the car had around 80K miles and now the car has around 82.5K miles.

Could be a knock sensor or a loss of air inside the air box/tube that goes to the intake manifold. I would have the check engine light checked; just because it isnt on doesn't mean there isn't a code in the system. Most of the errors would give you a check engine light, so it might just be a matter of time till it comes on.

My Subaru had a faulty knock sensor => loss of power when accelerating

Mazda had a break in air duct => loss of power when accelerating

Change the ignition coils and your problem will be fixed .Before changing coils insulate them by pvc tape

first and install them back in and if you problem decreases it will be confirmed ignition coils are bad now .so just change them .
