Felt more when accelerating with some load on the engine in 3rd, 4th and 5th (manual), it hiccups or the car bogs or hesitates as many as 3 times in the same gear when accelerating. Also upon abrupt lift off or on the throttle it hiccups.

Could this be the lost motion spring? (which the dealer checked last year during the recall appt). Or is it a bad spark plug? Bad gas? I've had several fill ups already and no improvement. I also did a idle re-learn.

 

I have had the same thing happen to me recently.

I usually lose power when acceleration from a stop and pulling into traffic.
(not a good time for this to happen)

I recently brought my car in and the Dealer said that the motion springs did need to be replaced.

However the problem is continuing to happen. I think I need to bring it back in to the dealer.

 

Tons of stuff here if you search 'hiccup.' It's probably the coilpacks.

 

spark plugs. thats what it was when this happened to me
