Default Throttle Response

I am getting really sick of the response I am getting right now from my 06. Never tried messin with a dirve-by-wire system. Any tips on the best way to adjust this?

Searched for a thread by surprised not to find a one. Anyone else have this issue? Could this be a TPS issue?

After I had my Hondata Flashpro tuned it was improved greatly. Its not a cheap solution but it works.

There is a TSB for Honda to flash your car with an undated version if your VIN falls into a certain range, but still won't do much. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2006-2015-79/%2A%2A-faq-rev-hang-dbw-bog-reflash-update-revhang-rev-hang-hds-bogging-1835215/

I second Flashpro...my car drives as it is cable driven with no hesitation. And just like trutech74 said, if you plan on getting bolt-ons later on you might as well get Flashpro now.

yeah the DBW system is all computer-controlled and no adjustments can be made, short of a reflash. and don't expect the honda bulletin to do too much either

I had a friend use Sprint Booster on his car and he said it was great. I have no actual experience myself, but just a thought you should look into.

I have a blitz throttle controller which worked well on one of my civics that I sold that I'm selling. There are 3 selectable settings plus and eco setting.

flashpro works great as well which I also have in my other civic, but does cost more than double the throttle controller.

Have you noticed in ECO mode that your mileage improves over stock?
