I've had it...
I agree with all the posters. Heat bog is an issue with a few cars. But not at 70 F. There are some very obvious fixes, several of which have codes associated with them. This may take a few tries, but I drive the car hard at 104 F and never had a single problem...

and the engine is jittery and slightly unresponsive in high gear while cruising.
I've driven the S in high 90's temp with the A/C on and never had this issue
correct, heat bog is not the culprit at 70 degrees...
try the injectors or any of the listed suggestions...and do a thorough search.
otherwise, find a competent mechanic.
or sell your S for a discount, considering it is "broken down"

You'll have to buy a membership first then post the FS thread.
Kidding really... But before selling the car, and/or throwing parts at it (like you apparently did last summer
) take it to a honda mechanic on a warm day. Diagnosing a problem yourself doesn't appear to be the answer.
lol, gotta love how you mentioned "fix the problem myself" more than once.....right away that tells me that your car STILL has the issue since you probably did not "fix" it correctly....again this tells me the car isn't the issue.
this is a knife-edge built car and when there is an issue with it (rarely!), you better know what you're doing when repairing it. (ok, i'll give you that 'drop in parts' like injectors, plugs, etc. don't apply cause they are easy to do).
in addition i doubt you have a honda HDS tablet at your disposal and it sounds like your car maybe needs tuning or the right diagnosis before u go changing more parts? maybe you should go spend a lil cash and get it checked properly (read the ecu) at the dlr or go to a honda shop (aftermarket if u know someone good - and get it tuned, or have someone more experienced check it out).
is there a previous owner to you? how was the car maintained before this bogging? did you change the wrong items? bogging isn't solved "just like that" with a car that is tuned like this. we get hot up here too in summers, and i will admit the car is a touch more sluggish in hot weather, a proper running one doesnt bog to the effect you have on your car. (not to mention 70F is not even hot lol).
many ppl have listed good other issues above that it could be.
if its the fact you actually aren't driving it "properly" as someone said, that would be a fail.
