Mine also has the shudder, its a 02YM. It's been doing it now for a couple of months.
The engine, when warm also idle's a little rough, I have a Spoon style snorkel so it's not a heat problem. I think! Not sure what my cause this, any ideas??
Will try the ECU reset in the meantime.

Thanks Gad, will try it at the weekend, she's not booked in the dealers so it's worth a shot. Like you say, any fault codes will re-appear and if Honda are anything like Audi, their first port of call is to clear the codes anyway!

This is what happened to me (per my post of 3rd April): -
"Took my car in for it's first (9k) service on Saturday morning. I was filled with apprehension as I in my experience dealers always manage to give you your car back running worse than when they got it. Anyway picked it up 2 hours later and noticed that it was running differently; when I stopped at lights etc, the revs dropped off lower than usual and the whole car shuddered.
Thought about going back, but it was sunny, and I wanted to enjoy the day. To cut a long story short; later that afternoon the engine warning light came on and the car lost power and stated juddering and jerking (kangarooing?). I had to call out Honda roadside assistance in the form of the AA. He did a diagnostic and came up with a fuel volume regulator / fuel shut off valve malfunction. I managed to drive it the short distance home.
Question is - coincidence that it went wrong straight after a service or could the dealer have caused it? Any thoughts? I need to decide how to approach it with them. I work in Edinburgh during the week and my weekends are very important, I'm pissed off that I wasted over 2hrs of a lovely sunny Saturday sitting at the side of the road waiting for the AA. If it's just one of those things, then hey-ho that's life, but if the dealer caused it I want their blood! "
I've now noticed that the oil looks overfilled...
