Months & months later, some old crap I parked her for different periods to test my '97 Hatch+HX project but the in gear jerks remain among the rest of the symptoms. I've resorted to pulling the IACV plug & letting the CEL shine bright because other than a low idle & jerking in low RPM, low gear situations, she's fine. I may eventually hook up a 10watt, 10 ohm resistor to trick the ECU into turning off the CEL but for now she still hits VTEC & I imagine lean burn (won't know til a burn a tank & compare past numbers). BTW, blocking the IACV off completely but leaving it plugged in simply lowered idle & worsened my decel jerks. Go figure. Unplugging just the TPs had similar positive results except for an unacceptably high idle + CEL,
