Acceleration issues in lower gears Sign In

i have a 2012 Honda Civic coupe 1.8l 5 speed manual transmission,
The issue that I am having is when I accelerate in first second or third gear my car will bounce hard at around 3000 rpm the bounce is less intense as I go up in gears this only happens when I'm accelerating hard, however if I accelerate easy past 3000 rpm to 5000 rpm and then accelerate hard it will bounce as soon as I accelerate. The other thing it does is after it bounces hard in first gear or second gear and I continue to accelerate without letting off the gas it will continue to bounce heavy like if I was bouncing my foot on the throttle repetitively. These symptoms started happening this spring after a winter or extreme snow, I hade so much snow built up under my car that it melted and froze a gaint ice block under my engine around some electrical connectors which ruined my brake controller by shorting wires. I'm wondering if maybe I have a sensor causing this issue, I have search out this problem and one that sounds similar is broken engine mounts but I checked mine and the seem ok, so times the issue isn't as bad as other times, but I'm not doing anything differently either.

It sounds like you might be describing misfire under load. For that issue you would look at the plugs, wires if it has them and coils. n rare cases, fuel injectors.
