2014 Civic Sputter from exhaust/ 1500-2000rpm jerking
I have a 2014 Honda Civic Coupe 1.8l and long story short had a crack in my radiator which I thought was a tiny hole. My water temp high light came on and steam came from the intake. I let it cool down then tried to start it and it would not start the first couple tries, waited some more and it finally started and I drove it home quickly and parked it. Coolant was almost bone dry due to the 7 inch long crack in the radiator. I knew I had to buy a radiator and since the steam came from the intake I knew the gaskets were shot. Took care of the intake first and then the radiator. No coolant has mixed with oil and vice versa, no white smoke out the exhaust. Thought all was well but now have 2 other issues. 1 while idling I get these putting noises from the exhaust shown in the video below. 2 is when driving it between 1500-2000rpms the car skips/jerks until I give it more acceleration and it’s gone. Car idles fine until it putts and then it might dip very slightly then back to normal. I’ve done a lot to this car in the past several months and I’m trying really hard not to take it to the shop because I normally do all the work to my cars but I’m stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.

Spark plugs and 1 coil were replaced before the radiator issue due to rpm drops, which fixed that issue. I’m assuming valve adjustment would mean taking it to a shop so no that hasn’t been done but it wasn’t doing that prior to the radiator issue.

A valve lash adjustment isn't that difficult to do. Pop the valve cover off and use a set of feeler gauges to measure/adjust.
I am grasping at straws. Not sure what else to recommend.
