Yep Plugs and coils. (Sometimes they loosen and sometimes grounds do it too)

After that egr valve and Vtec sock
Valve lash too.

In my case my car loves to jerky when it's cold or wet and rainy.

Best improvement was running a $1 vacuum hose shoved into the intake tie strapped so it was near the cat then use s oval bottomed cardboard cutout with duck taped handle.

I have also found when the car won't stop herky jerky that a gallon or two of e85 stops it. Mystery oil helps with hard to solve jerky.

If you just want to drive and put off some of the repairs the above 3 really help.

Good luck
