Default 97 Civic LX lose power when cold start up

when the car is cold started and im just driving it normally all of a sudden i could feel the lost of power like the car would not go anymore(decelerating) but all of a sudden it would just jump back to normal and i could feel it accelerating while the whole time im holding on the gas pedal on the same spot. it would go away when the car is fully warm up. after warm up the car drive normal.what could be wrong with the car? recently i have change the spark plug/wire, cap and rotor, oil change. this is a 1997 honda civic Lx automatic.

Have you checked the ignition timing?

Did you use OEM ignition parts?

Any CEL codes?
