09 Si Issue
I have a 2009 Honda Civic Si with under 50k on it. I'm having an issue when I cold start the car. The car idles at cold start around 2grand and once warmed up drops to around 1grand. The issue is when I start driving it, if I give it a good amount of gas it hesitates/lags for a sec and goes normal does it again. But this only happening when the car is started cold and if I drive slow and get to 3rd or 4th gear it doesn't happen also. Once the car temp warms up the issue goes away. Anyone have any idea's or suggestions? I'm a little confused.

Re: 09 Si Issue
Seems normal to me but I don't really have that issue that much anymore.
What I do is I wait about a minute once I start it and then I start driving off. I don't go above 3.5k rpms either. Usually within 4-5 minutes the car is warmed up. I don't ever have any issue regarding lag/bogging/hesitation.

It has to do with the fuel enrichment during cold weather driving. It is not a concern. Modulate your pedal pressures and drive normally until the car is at operating temperature.

Avoid VTEC until you have at least three bars on the temp gauge because the computer won't allow that until it's warmed up a little.
