Am I having a transmission issue?

Am I having a transmission issue?
Honda accord 2000 LX 99k miles.
Check engine light last time I checked was for egr insufficient flow. I removed the egr and cleaned the ports, it wasn't even that dirty. Check engine light stayed on. Soon I'm ordering the gaskets to remove the throttle body and the intake manifold to do a full clean. Once I get that done hopefully it won't give me the CEL.
My car when at cold start will bog out. It won't go past 20 mph suddenly it'll jump and go and than it'll happen again. It's very weird because I've started my car before and just gone out and this has never happened. I've realised that after it heats up to normal tempature it doesn't happen anymore. So ill just have to let it heat up from now on to avoid this from happening. Should I do a transmission flush or add a treatment to just be safe? Thanks. I also recorded it so I'm going to upload it to YouTube and post it here. The video started a little after it had heated up a little bit but it still did it. I'll post it once it's uploaded.

So in the first 30 seconds you'll see it happen. I'll record again when it happens again. I kept recording just in case it happened again. But it didn't. I guess it only occurs when the car is cold. It's only happened today and I've had the car for a couple of months now.

Its now daylight. I was able to take the car out and test it again. It did the same thing. This time I recorded it from start. I'm doing an oil change and tranny flush soon as well. I'm uploading the video on YouTube. This is the second time the car has done this all of a sudden.
Just went to auto parts. Getting the code po401

No I figured it was supposed to go off by itself. I'll do that asap. I'll change it to public now. Sorry about that.

Alright I'll definitely do that. Thanks! That yellow light is terribly annoying. Also that can't be what's causing the car to be acting up like that when I accelerate though right?

If the CEL is on the PCM has detected/determined there is an issue. The reason the car is running strangely is because the PCM is attempting to operate the power/drivetrain with the fault. Find out what the fault code is, report back here.

To reword my problem...basically the car hesitates when I accelerate on a cold start only. As you see in the video the rpms drop and than suddenly jumps. It jumps because I give it more throttle. Once the car stops hesitating it takes off because my foots still on the throttle.

The stumbling is probably from the EGR insufficient flow, part throttle misfire occurs. When the engine fully warms up/closed loop the range or severity of the misfire changes.

Re: Am I having a transmission issue?
I'm going to order the throttle body gasket tomorrow since they appear to break easily. The gasket for the intake manifold appears to be made of metal and is reuseable so this fix will probably cost me around $15 between all the throttle body cleaner and the gasket I'll have to buy. Can't wait to have my car running perfect and to finally shut off that annoying yellow light.
Quick question. Should I do all this with the battery disconnected? It would reset the ECU plus there's a lot of electrical stuff thats plugged in on these things so I wouldn't want to damage it. What's your advice on that? Thanks for the response and all the help.

Verify that you have any needed radio security codes prior to disconnecting the battery.
