I feel the same. I did however reflash just due to this thread, I feel like it made a bit of a difference but it could really be in my head and I probably haven't driven enough yet.
Maybe it's just due to the way I drive that this isn't a problem for me. Most of my fast acceleration is done at highway speed and there is no hesitation. At takeoff around town everything seems smooth. The only time I get hesitation (extremely rare though) is occasionally when I'm going really slow (15-20 mph) and then quickly give it a lot of throttle.

with tsp it is very evident if .......

slow down in second gear up to 1500 rpm, in acceleration you jerk conspicuously, it doesn't always do, but it happens

as said, even stock does it slightly

Yeah I think that's when I started noticing it more, when I switched to the TSP tune. Stock before I flashed any tune it happened here and there but this just made it feel like something was wrong with my car.

With the TSP I noticed it was smoother but maybe was easier to trigger than with the starter21.

I'm happy for you!
Full support for my ECU 5AN-E32 is not available yet....
I don't understand how long I will have to wait yet.

Wow i wasn't aware that there are ecu versions which are not yet supported. Hope you get it soon, it's day and night difference.

Out of curiosity, where was the car manufactured?

Hi folks,

Car modding noob here. I have a 2019 Civic EX Sedan w/CVT. I've tweaked the base Starter 21 tune with more aggressive quick adjustments (ok, pretty much the MOST aggressive adjustments). Every once in a while (maybe 1 out of 10 times), when I take off from a stop, the throttle seems to hesitate a bit and stutter, almost like it's being driven by a 16 year old learning how to drive a stick. It's only for like a fraction of a second, but it's noticeable. Also, sometimes (even less frequently) when I come to a stop, it will stutter a bit.

I'm assuming it's just a result of me setting the quick adjustments too aggressively? Sorry, I don't have a datalog (yet), but I can get one later if it helps. I just figured someone might have experienced this already.

Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

Here are my settings. I typically leave it in the "tune 1" quick adjustment.

UPDATE: The KTuner 1.0.9.5 update seems to have mostly fixed this issue.

Hello everyone
I have the same issue unfortunately and this annoying 5AN-E32 ECU.
I am running 10.9.6 version of Ktuner and still have the same issue with 21+ starter Beta tune. Should I run Non-beta files with partial support to fix the issue or is there any way to keep my beta tune?

Thanks for help
