Default Slight hesitation when trying to take off

Ever since Ive had my LX its had a slight hesitation when trying to take off, like it kinda boogs down a tad first. Its had a tune up and I cant find anything visably worng. It does this more under the faster you try to take off. Is this normall or i something not right?

I did the tune up, new plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, mobil one oil and filter, cleaned out the TB.

It passed emmisions good but I guess it could be the cat. Is it bolted on so that I could un bolt it and see what that does?

You would think, but mine didn't. Just enough on the fritz to expletive up performance but not enough to throw a code.

That's your problem. If those are aftermarket wires throw that **** out. Honda's run like crap on "performance" wires. Speaking from experiense. Get some genuine Honda wires.
