i own a '99 honda accord LX (automatic) with about 103k miles on it. every day in the morning (andany time duringthe day after i haven't used the carfor a number of hours) when i first start up my car i experience something right afterI take the car out of park. when i shiftinto reverse,or intodrive (while my foot's on the brake), I almost immediately feel what i can best describe as a hiccup (not an actual stall where the engine completely dies)in the car. It feels very much like it would if the car was a stick-shift and the car jumps just before it stalls. Even if i don't keep my foot on the brake and i let the gear of reverse or drive take over i still feel the hiccup and a delay in the the natural acceleration of the car. And on top of it all this same hiccup continues tooccur as i take my foot off and on the brakefor the next 1/4 of a mile. I took the car to a pretty trustworthy auto shop that specializes in transmission and they held the car over night, but for some reason they didn't experience it when they drove it or see anything questionable about the transmission when they looked it over. my suspicion is that they let the car sit for a few minutes before they drove it - which is what i often doso i don't have to deal with any of the hiccups because itdoesn' happen when you let it sit for a few minutes. i've been told that it's a few different things but i feelbetter with a few other non-biased opinions (from non-locals to Madison, Wisconsin). please help and advise.

 

When is the last time the spark plugs were changed?

 

A choke issue possibly?

 

V6 or L4?
