I just got back from the Honda dealer where I got my one month old SI reflashed. I made my appointment earlier in the week expecting this to fix the rev hang and throttle hesitation issue.

It wasn't until earlier today that I saw the actual service bulletin with the VINs listed and mine was NOT in the range.

I'll say that again my SI was NOT covered under service bulletin 06-052!

I decided to go to the dealer anyway and see what they could do since I definitely WAS experiencing the problem. I even told them when I got there that my VIN was not in the listed range, but they said they'd check it out to be sure.

An hour and a half later (because they had to update their system with the new HDS version) I have what feels like a new car all over again. The PCM update did take, and the rev hang is almost completely gone. Driveability has improved greatly, it's so smooth now!

Cliffs: I have an SI NOT in the VIN range and the update did take and it DID fix the problem!
