Do you have the pre-TSB MAP sensor still?
If so, it's worth replacing it with the revised sensor..
The MAP Whack procedure has been superseded by the new sensor.
MAP Sensor and Holder Kit:
P/N 06176-PCX-000
Otherwise the old procedure is to tap the thing with a screwdriver handle while lightly revving the engine... For 20 seconds or so.

Looks like the new one. Zip Tie molded into the sensor body. I'll definitely still try the whack first, then ECU reset, then charging system check, then VTEC solenoid check.
When i I started the engine just before these symptoms started, the revs jumped way over typical. It went to about 1500 or 2000 RPM, and I just attributed it to cold weather (28F).

Just a quick update for anyone following. My MAP sensor is already the updated one, but the connector was very loose. In addition to tapping it with the handle of my dead blow, I was able to get two more clicks out of the zip tie. It fits much tighter now, and the car drives the way I think it should.

also if it's an ap1 check if there's a zip tie on your map sensor, it was a tsb from honda.

With that hat said I do WOT at low RPMs all the time. It's the only way I knew there was a problem with my MAP sensor.

S2krazy, this was actually my 'longshot' idea as well.. i searched for slipping clutch symptoms and im not having any shaking or rattling or anything, but maybe my problem is pre-symptoms of those symptoms?
My friend with a WRX had to replace his clutch and he said he felt the same stuff at the beginning, then it got real bad and he couldnt drive the car till he got it replaced, so im a little worried about the clutch, gonna check the easy stuff first though
But thanks guys, later today ill give it a map whack and see what that does
************************************************** *****+
I believe we are on the same boat ,clutch replacment. try driving uphill road ,stop and then try on1st gear , see if theres delay as you go forward. And lastly after a few miles of driving check if theres a burning smell like breaks. if yes most likely its the clutch

about 60ish, i changed the oil, put shell premium (93) in it, and it felt fine, thought it was fixed and went on way, this was at about 4-5pm got back in the car at around 830-9 and the problem is back, this time while cruising, keeping steady speed the RPMs are wanting to drop quickly, almost like im tapping the clutch pedal and immediately letting it back out, and getting that kangaroo, jumpy effect, whole time im just lightly gassing it
the WOT problem is still back though, mostly happening from 3-3.3k rpm, feel a BIG dip in the powerband (head goes forward slightly) you know what im talking about
anyone have any ideas?
