Honda-Tech - Honda Forum Discussion - 2000 Honda Civic jerking while accelerating/slow acceleration

So I have a 2000 Honda Civic I believe the lx model 1.6L with auto transmission and in the last couple days I've noticed in the mornings when I first try to drive between 15-30mph once it hits 2nd gear it starts jerking while I'm accelerating and then even if I floor it it won't get to speed like it normally does and seems like it won't downshift, but in the evenings after I've been driving seems like there's no problem accelerating and no jerking. It's got about 215k miles on it and I put the last 15k on Ive had regular maintenance since I bought it, had the distributor assembly replaced about 10 months ago and it's been driving fine till this week. I was told I need a new valve gasket cover and my power steering fluid has a slow leak. I was thinking spark plugs and the wiring but the fact it only seems to happen after a cold start I'm not sure. Any opinions? No cel's on

tldR; car is jerky and accelerates slow in the morning but seems to be fine once up to temp and driving for a bit any ideas?
