Have you discussed this with your tuner?

Have you unchecked this?

Throttle dampening

The standard ECU will slow the throttle opening when in first gear with the vehicle moving, which may result in a jerk once the throttle opens fully. This may be disabled.

I did. I even printed out directions. I just graduated from WyoTech and my tuning instructor didn't help me out at all so now I'm stuck trying to figure this shit out on my own from what I learned from school. I looked all through hondata for the throttle parameter and couldn't find it

What vehicle? Modifications? The option may not be available for your car.

2010 civic ex. Full exhaust cold air intake skunk 2 cam. Im thinking the problem might be because I have a bigger air filter on the intake than weapon r gave me. The old one got all dirty and its like 2 years old now so I got a new one and its a little bigger than the old one

I'll try to explain what it does... When I come to a stop at a red light or something and push on the gas pedal itll like almost stall out or something like its not getting enough air or something. I'm not trying to say that it accelerates like a slug it just doesn't accelerate at all until I get to a certain speed or rpm. Its hard to explain its something you'd have to experience to understand what I mean

You have disabled the AFM and are using MAP fuel tables?

I don't think so. I don't have MAP fuel tables checked and I can still edit the AFM table

The problem is your AFM reading incorrectly. Changing the intake from stock without re-scaling the AFM will cause the bogging you are experiencing.

See: https://www.hondata.com/help/flashpro/t ... m_flow.htm

Depending on how poorly the intake was designed, it may be easier to use speed density (MAP fuel tables) to get the car running well.

See, my instructor from school never told me any of that, I tried data logging it and editing the AFM chart how the directions tell me where it was rich or lean and it made it worse so I just put everything back. I might just buy the right size filter from auto zone and hopefully itll fix the problem. It also doesn't accelerate well up hills in 4th gear like it used to, even up small hills so now I always have to shift down to 3rd gear to speed up. That might be because of the filter too
