Car studdering at low RPMs
Started doing it all of a sudden. When pulling from a stop the car studders at low rpms generally btw 2k-3.5k rpms or so. Any ideas? Bad plug or fuel pump is my initial idea but would like to hear some feedback from those more in the know.

Ive also taken note that the car doesnt do it when running while cold. But as it warms up it progresses to get worse. Then after 3k it runs fine and only does it at the low rpms

the first link you gave has nothing to do with his problem. he's experiencing a hiccup or issue well above idle, at around 2500-3000rpm
sorry!! I didnt read it carfully I thought It was a case of "engine almost dying when coming to a stop"

Well, I typed an explanation, someone called me and f@#@ it all up. Round 2....From what I've read on here it could be heat bog. I've noticed sometimes while at a drive thru or red light for a while, when I leave the car wants to buck at low rpms, shifting into second almost always cures this. The gas pedal on this car is so sensitive, tap the gas and it bucks let off and it's like you tap the brake a little. So, when it bogs and you give it gas bucka bucka bucka bucka, I can't stand it makes me look like I can't drive stick. I would also like to find a solution to this, anyone else wanna chime in And if this is not what your car is doing I'm sorry for wasting this space.

I wish it was heat bog... but if it was I dont think it would bog in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. If I tap the throttle it doesnt get make the hiccups go away like it normally would with heat bog. I am suspecting a fuel issue... maybe the fuel filter or pump.
PS: does the s2000 have a fuel filter that can be purchased seperately or does it come with the pump? I did a google search and nothing much came up for a fuel filter

Try doing a complete maintenance on your car. That solves weird problems alot of the time. If the car still runs normal on the top end then it cant be a fuel issue. I would think that would affect the entire rpm range.
