Throttle Hang

I was reading on a fix about throttle hang ( when you press the clutch in and the rpms float before falling, used for emission purposes but a pain in the A$$) issue and was wondering if anybody had the write up. Because the original link is so old that the website doesnt even exist anymore.

I know the new Civic SIs have that problem and Honda updated the engine management software on the new ones. Not sure if they reflashed the ECUs on the older ones or not.

Maybe the dealer has an ECU update that would help you out.

There is a product on the market to fix this, doesn't work for the maxima. Yet. But it works for the Z and the G. My parts guy asked me to try out the part. It fit where it was supposed to but it didn't work properly. I sent him the voltage specs and he is hoping to have a new prototype in a week or two.

I will keep you guys posted as this develops.

Larger MAF helped mine. If you do have a very pronounced lag, there is a TSB on the subject.
