Smile 96 accord ex vtec

This car of mine I bought for a whopping 1000$
I spent under 1000$ in parts that needed to be replaced such as
The egr
The coolant temp sensor housing was rotten
Some weird looking valve thats under the throttle body broke and leaked water which also happened to my old car dumb people put water whyyyy!! I think its like a solenoid ....
replaced motor mounts old ones were dry and brittle one was broken
Spark plugs wires and oil ...oil was blackkkk blackkk I was like =0
New tires replaced ...dude had bald tires on
o2 sensors
Rewired cooling fans
Drained radiator Replaced nasty rusty tap water with coolant
Now it runs like it was destined for me to come and rescue her from the careless owner
But therres this one thing I hate its like I drive and I feel a jolt when it changes down a gear or i m parked and shift to d4 anybody got any ideas I'm thinking its the transmission I press lightly on gas it does not do it I got a code say in I'm running lean I'm confused

Id check the mounts....the front usually goes first.

What was the actual code you got?

So today as I was so bored out of my mind I was driving and all of a sudden my check engine light went away I was like whoaaaaa I did this by myself awesome lol the jolting went away not as bad as it was.
I need to replace the mount under the intake its pretty good but might as well
Now it drives better
I don't know where that's located the maf
