Help me Please :( Major problem with my fit

Hello,
my 07 sport fit @ 66k miles is having a odd problem its annoying me so much. Just noticed this a few days ago.

Problem- When sitting in drive like at a red light or stop sign the car flutters seems to skip a beat. And I noticed the rpm goes up and down when this happens. And at times when on the highway I feel a lack in power or a cut back in power and the flutter thing.

I just do not know much about cars, but want to learn!
My dad only makes sure I get the oil changed and I do always on time. But this is different for me so confused. And the dealer 99.00 charge to look at it is killer. I am a girl that wants to learn help please thanks.

could possibly be the coil packs or the valves, seems like it turned out to be the coil packs for most fits with similar symptoms.

looks like it's happened to a lot of people:

Yeah, I agree with the above poster. Welcome to the club. Happened to me around 60k miles also. I replaced my spark plugs and it has went away for me but people that have done the same have had t he problem come back after a while.

Lightbulb Coil packs 42.00 to 72.00

Coil Packs easy fix abit expencive though.

RockAuto Parts Catalog Go to Honda, Fit, Ignition and there they are.
42-72.00 per coil pack.

I just started a thread like this. Going down the road my car hiccups for a second and it mainly does it with the AC on. I have 65k on the car and about 30 on the plugs.
