I recon that this may not work with all of you, but it's so simple and cheap that I decided to share it.
I have had the annoying jerkiness at low revs, when just cruising at constant speed and my foot pressing the accelerator very lighty.
I came accross the same situation in a Honda spanish forum, refering to the Accord 7th diesel.
Based on the information gathered there, here's what I did:
- Removed the ECU fusefor a minute or so to clear the memory (engine compartment fuse box - check the inside of the cover for guidance).
- Disconnected the ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR plug and gave it a good spray with electronic contact spray. Did the same with the plug in the device and the device itself.
I advise you to put some paper towels below the sensor, to avoid the spray dripping below.
You should find the sensor in either side (mine is in the left) of the engine compartment, near the back - easy to find because the accelerator cable is connected to it.

- Then I simply reconnected the plug, but used plastic straps to secure the plug to the device firmly.
Couldn't believe when the jerkiness was gone!
