are you stating this car has no have Rev hangs and no Dbw lag in the OEM form?
OK, I'm hopefully going to put this nonsense to bed once and for all.
REV HANG
let's look at the myth of rev hang
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfCVHujtDpM
We are here on a UK HONDA ACCORD FORUM, and no-one on here has ever mentioned this issue.
Also, I do not know if it has been mentioned on any other UK HONDA ACCORD FORUM
it may have been mentioned on UK Honda Civic Forums, but again I don't know.
The point is, it seems to be a myth that has come from the USA about Honda Civics in the USA. I suspect that the reason they have the problem could be related to Honda doing something to pass the model through emission testing in the USA, but I don't know any more than that and I don't give two hoots.
I have just been out in my car at this early hour while no other traffic is on the roads.
I have done so, in order to be absolutely sure of what I am about to say.
THERE IS NO REV HANG ON MY ACCORD WHEN OVER 3000 RPM.
REPEAT
THERE IS NO REV HANG ON MY ACCORD WHEN OVER 3000 RPM.
Below 3000 rpm, there is a minor rev hang. In fact, the revs increase slightly, then drop. But nothing as slow as in that youtube video above. And anyway, if it's below 3000 rpm, I don't give two hoots.
I have checked what I say with VSA ON and VSA OFF.
I have checked what I say in neutral.
I have checked what I say when driving in the first 5 gears at various throttle openings, at various aggressive throttle attacks, at various gear changes.
I suspect that it is there below 3000 rpm to get the model through emission testing in the EU.
DBW LAG
In neutral with VSA ON there is some DBW lag.
In neutral with VSA OFF there is NO DBW lag.
In first gear, take-off can be affected with VSA ON, but that is to be expected.
THROTTLE RESPONSE (mentioned in #180)
seems perfectly ok to me in stock form
MY CONCLUSION
The littlebo reflash could offer up to a 10% improvement in acceleration when made on a fully stock 7th gen pre-facelift Accord 2.4
If the claims that it improves DBW LAG and REV HANG are real, then it can only be based on anecdotal stories that
differ from observations that I have personally made on my stock Accord in both normal and harsh driving conditions.

Again, why don't you test the ECU first?
can someone explain who is pushing which map on this forum ????
