Default 95 Integra - car jumps/bump on take off

Hi, My engine/car seems to have a little, stutter step when I take off in first. It's like there is a couple seconds before it catches. Is it the tires? Someone said it might be the engine mounts. Do they need tightening? Any ideas? Orwell

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

Maybe head gasket or...its winter time, the cold delays things.

My car use to jump like crazy when I blew the distributor. I changed the distributor and car was great.

I'd check that 1st, the codes, if your check engine light is on then the ECU will go into "limp mode"
