I'm not having that issue, but I've noticed the S is sluggish on a cold start, until I rev it. Then it's fine.

it acts like its going to die? like "chugs" for a sec, until you rev it? ive experienced that as well. This particular issue is when the car is at temp, very annoying. I dont want to drive it until i figure it out.

Seems like my race car had same issue, related to evaporate system. We disconnected it, ran perfect. Are you getting any check engine lights? Mine eventually threw a code

no check engine lights. Havent done anything modification wise/maintenance wise recently that would've affected my idle. When it acts up, It will idle high (15-1800 rpms) then come down, idle really low or sometimes just dies. Have to restart it, comes back on immediately, but the idle issue is still there.

Does it happen with the AC on or off? or it doesn't matter?

...feeling much better about my convertible top...nervous about these storms coming in today. Please don't hail. I picked up the S at J&J Auto Upholstery this morning. He re-installed my top since the Honda dealer where I bought the car did such an awful job with it. It's much better. Super nice guy and he didn't charge me much for the work. He had done some S tops before and seemed to know quite a bit about them. I'd recommend him. I don't have time to run the car home now though. Please don't hail.

So...update on the idling issue. Picked up a PCV, Spark plugs, and brake cleaner to clean the IACV. Installed all of this last night and went for a drive....so far so good...i even disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes to reset. It seems *crosses fingers* that the issue has been resolved. Going to drive it a bit more this weekend to test.

... wishing I was at GingerMan for the #GRIDLIFE Spring Shakedown. The current perfect weather is making this event that much more painful to miss.
