Low rev hesitation problems
Hi folks, hope you guys/girls can help me out.
I've asked this question on the UK forum, but not had a great deal of luck tracking down the fault, so I thought I'd throw it open to a wider audience.
Back in March my Lambda sensor died on me. Instead of getting a Honda replacement for

Fix the O2 sensor correctly. Sounds like poor wiring connections. THere is a dielectric grease that you can put on the connections to prevent them from corroding. MSD among others makes the stuff.

Check your plugs too. I had low idle hesitation due to a defective spark plug. Also did you do the "MAP whack"?
I did check my spark plugs as well, and the gaps were well within service limits. I might replace them anyway. Just somehthing else to cross off the list I guess.

there's no fuel filter in the S, cleaning the TB/mani/iac is the most noticeable for my stalling too. it went away for good after i use honda's in house engine top cleaner.
one more thing, newer honda do not like universal o2 sensor, code 41 is ultra common and it's a given on bosch plug(for some reason).
after you got rid of the issue, get yourself a catch oil

The map whack has been shown on this board to be a good temporary measure before replacing it or doing the xviper super-glue-zip-tie fix.
There is a fuel filter, its in the gas tank under the fuel pump! It is meant to last the life of the car (depending on the quality of gas in your area).
Since its a pain to get to behind the seats and under the softtop, you should reserve it as a last ditch attempt.
