Low RPM stutter while in gear
<peaks head out from rock>

Hi! So yeah I have an intermittent stutter at low RPM while I'm in gear. Usually happens in 1st through 3rd between 1k-2.5k. Only thing I can do is put the clutch in and wait for the engine to go to idle. Idle is nice and steady so I don't think its that. I'm headed towards MAP sensor.
What do you guys think? I'm going to be taking it in to Bellevue Honda this week if I can find the time but wanted to hear from the copious amount of knowledge here first
Thanks!!

PS Yes I tried the search No luck.

your map is fine. everything's cool
You can easily get your car to start bucking and jerking when in low gears. As the car surges forward, your foot comes back off the gas a little. That slows the car down, which makes your foot come forward a little. That speeds the car up, ad infinitum. Or at least ad nauseum.

it's not that.
bucking is a common issue on all s2000s. especially when you're in stop and go traffic. you just put in the clutch, wait for the engine to chill out, and resume.
map is a different feel. it's when you're usually trying to go WOT and it hesitates at higher RPMs.
what you're describing happens when you're going over a series of small bumps at low speeds. sux.
