Default what could it be?

whats up honda-tech! well i got a little problem with my 96 jdm gsr swapped eg. when my car is super cold meaning left overnight, as soon as i start it at around 2.3k the car begins to studder, it only does that if you lightly hold the rpms around there. but as soon as the motor warms or i go "wot" the problem goes away. things i have done: new iac, new coil. spark plugs, cap, rotor and air filter and i also checked all my vacuum lines and its all good. im thinking that maybe its a faulty O2 sensor but i have no check engine light, my check engine light does work incase you are wondering. help!!!!

The ECU runs open loop when the engine is cold, ignoring or waiting for some sensor inputs like the one from the O2 sensor that needs to be hot to work. So forget about that idea.

its most likely impropper fueling in that rpm range with the map thats on the computer. altho it reads STOCK map, they are still vehicle specific.

you need to have it tuned. running it like it is, isnt gonna hurt it. but its not helping matters any.
