I have a 2001 V6 EX - with 210k. this is my wifes car and she was telling me when ever she starts the car to leave for work each morning - the car is doing this strange jerking / non-responsive acceleration. Hopefully I can explain this as I have experienced it myself. I started the car - sat in it for 5 mins - then backed out of driveway - upon hitting the gas - the car would bog down - as if about to shutoff. I left my foot on the accelerator to see if it would eventually kick in - for about the next 30 secs - it bucked / jerked and made it way to the end of the street. Then (assuming) that once it warmed up - it will drive just fine. She said this cycle happens each time she get in the car after it has sat for a while and cooled off.
In May 2012 - we had major work done at a local Honda shop (not dealer).
We spent about $2500 - which also included a brake job.
any ideas what this could be? We recently had a CEL - and I changed both O2 sensors - which removed the warning (2 weeks ago). This problem has been happening for about a month now and I was thinking the O2 sensors were this issue but its not. No other CEL warnings have displayed. I have a code checker - again - no CEL since reset after O2 sensors
Thanks for any suggestions
