Exclamation 01 civic ex hesitating when accelerating, what can it be?

So I recently had my timing belt and crank sensor done about a month ago. Just the other day my car started hesitating/jerking while I was about 2-3k rpm, it eventually shut off. I got it restarted and it was fine for about another day till it died on me getting off the highway. My engine light came on and the codes were telling me it was crank sensor and cat converter issue, I brought it back to shop and they fixed the crank sensor wire that was loose and now today it's doing the jerking again while I'm driving

Can anybody give me an idea what the problem might be? The cat is new and so are the o2 sensors, I'm thinking I should do a tuneup and also about a bad fuel pump

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Revisit this. Quite often once the connection has been disturbed, more issues follow.

If the connector was left loose, corrosion of the terminals is a good possibility, therefore poor and intermittent contact at those connections.

I'm bringing it to get checked this week, I'm getting a cam shaft sensor code now too , I've heard that it can be when they did the timing belt it's possible they didn't do it correctly , so we'll see what happens, hopefully I can get it fixed assp
