ok, here's the latest update on my Si bucking in first gear: after they had for two mornings (because it only bucks when engine is cold), between the Honda Tech and the Service Dept, and sending a snap shot of my ECU (which was already updated with the TSB 06-052), they determined that the MAP sensor plug needed more dielectric grease for better contact. The ECu did not require any more updates. Update: This morning, the bucking in first is gone. Apparently, the snap shot sent to Honda Tech isolated the problem to the connector to the sensor and was corrected.

Meanwhile, as my ASM Si was being serviced, I strolled through the showroom, and what do I see???? a Red Habenero Pearl with NAV, while the service dept was finishing the paper work on my ASM Si without NAV, I was already trading up to the HRP w/ NAV with my salesguy. The build date on the HRP Si is 08/06. They gave me 19300.00 for my ASM Si w/o NAV. For the HBP Si with NAV, fogs, 8 cd chgr, pinstripes, all weather floor mats,trunk tray, splash guards, wheel locks for OTD $25092.00. Done with my problems. Picking up my HBP Si Monday at 4:30 PM
