  1. Hi, I had the same issue in my Honda Fit Hybrid GP1 2012. I took the car to the agent himself and they fixed it by cleaning the EGR valve. This had occurred due to unburnt fuel particles which were blocking the valve from performing its job appropriately. EGR valve basically controls flow of exhaust gas into the combustion chamber. That is either directing gas to the combustion chamber or blocking gas from entering the combustion chamber by opening and closing the valve respectively. When the fuel we pump are low in its cleanliness, then there could be certain particles that are not burnt or partially burnt which will ultimately get saturated and block the EGR valve either partially or fully. In which case, when attempting to accelerate, even though the engine expects EGR valve to pump more gas to the combustion chamber, it will not be able to send sufficient amounts as this valve is blocked by these carbon particles. Hence, there will be a jerk or a miss in the vehicle when attempting to accelerate. As a precaution it is always advisable to pump 95 octane petrol or a type of petrol which is of better quality but this will not surely eliminate the risk of recurrence as we cannot provide an assurance for the actual quality of fuel available in the market. In my case, I have been pumping only 95 octane petrol but I had to get my EGR valve cleaned too. I am not sure whether we both are referring to the same issue, but mine also had similar symptoms as mentioned by mazraara. As the fix the agent proposed me two options. 1. Get the EGR valve cleaned (this fixed my issue) 2. Get the EGR valve replaced In my case, the option1 above worked. Hope this detail will be of some use to you
