Default Losing Power with Acceleration 2002 Ex

I have a 2002 Civic Ex, 1.7 Sohc. Now just today i started noticing that when i step on the accelerator i the car like hesitates or losses power and it comes and goes. I spoke to my uncle and he said it could be the injectors.

I bought one of those over the counter injector cleaners and it doesnt seem to be doing anything. I beleive my wife also told me that the CEL came on flashing like 3 times. I am not sure. does this sound familiar to anyone here?

Or anything else you guys can think of?

i checked the codes, not by jumping the cable with the paper clip, but i cant seem to find codes that are for a 2002. most of the codes are to about a 98. anyone have codes for the newer models?
