Default got weird engine problem

Hey I got a 95 honda civic si with a 95 gsr engine. When I go lets say start with first gear then second and then like fourth and floor it then the car like jerks like tooo much gas is going in the engine and not enough rpm. so basically when I am on low low rpm and floor it the car like jerks or like not shakes but its hard to explain Is that normal or something wrong got 107k in the engine

Your spark is jumping out of the plug wires probably or inside the dizzy cap, do a complete secondary ignition tune up.

what? you can E-fix a car with that much confidence? Will you pay the guy back for the parts if it's not the problem? I mean..doing a plug/wires/cap/rotor tune up might not be a bad idea...but....why would you just jump to that conclusion? That may or may not be the issue. It could be any of 5619846518776519879849847 things.

OP: we need more INFO. What RPM? how low is "low RPM"? What other cars have you owned that you've done this to? You're not being very clear.

Did you see the word PROBABLY and then you yourself stated a tune up might not be a bad idea. Spark finding the path of least resistance during a lugging scenario SOUNDS LIKE what I suggested, with confidence since I said PROBABLY, yes, that what I think the problem is as an E fix, thats what we do here, is give our EDUCATED GUESSES, thats mine. It could be many things but I see no mention of a tune up in years.
