I get the same sound at the same points in the commute. I do not know if I should be concerned. I have never had drive by wire throttle, nor have I had antilock brakes and I am not sure if that is tied in with that slight rev. It sounds like an engine readjustment of some type but I am not sure. I have a MT and sometimes I am speeding up, others slowing when the sound occurs. The only thing that seems to be common is that it makes the rev when I am on changing road surfaces (going over a grate, going from gravel to pavement, that sort of thing.) Anyone know anything about this? It may be nothing, or just normal part of the throttle or braking system, but it would help to know. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: fitluver (Mar 29, 2007 6:49 pm) So, about that revving sound. Is it the drive by wire throttle? |

Replying to: hsipes (Apr 02, 2007 3:03 am) Henry I WISH* it was warm enough to run air but it has been fairly cold most of the time here. It happens in all types of weather. I have the MT, not the auto. I am desperately looking to find someone that understands the drive by wire throttle to see if that device explains the sound I hear. It is very consistant. I am sure both feet arent on any pedal at any point in time when it happens. When I go from road to gravel or gravel to road, it is in first gear and just starting to "kick in" or is it "kick out" depending on whether I am starting or stopping. The other time it happens in second is going down a steep hill, 20 mph and it seems also as tho I hit some gravel at the top too that might be spinning it out. Not sure. Anyone? |

According to the May, 2007 edition of Motor Trend magazine, (Page 168)one of the things that they don't care for concerning their long term manual Civic Si, is the fact that the revs don't drop when depressing the clutch to shift. The Civic also has the "drive by wire" system, and apparently, this feature is engineered in to prevent the engine from suddenly running rich (smog control!) when the throttle closes abruptly; which is anytime you lift your foot from the accelerator.

Any opinions on which is better?
