"Rev Hang" is described as the throttle floating/hanging after you've put the clutch in/stopped pushing the gas, and the rpms do not drop.

I'm not sure where you're seeing rev overrun? I'm guessing they were meaning the same thing as rev hang though.Hey webby, I know what rev hang is cause its annoying as hell, but people mentioned that the update reduced rev hang but completely fixed rev overrun... So rev overrun is something completely different no? Sorry if I'm missing something here, I'm on my phone
no charge for them to do it, yet it may take going there for an oil change or some service to get a tech to hook your car up to the MVCI tester.Is this software update included in the factory warranty? or is there a charge?
thanks for providing dealer info. That's helpful for those who are locali got mine done today. if anyone in the nyc area is wondering where to go, i went to Bay Ridge Honda in Brooklyn.
I personally believe this problem is one of perception and/or personal preference.Is it just me or are there other Si owners that are not experiencing the rev hang thing? After seeing this post, I looked for it and didn't really notice it too much. I bought my Si last November.
It's definitely not my perception jasonandre. On my Si when I take my foot of the gas pedal and push in the clutch at approx. 4k rpm the revs hangs at 4k rpm for 2 or 3 seconds. The engine should drop as soon as I take my foot off the gas. It sound like I'm "riding" the clutch when I shift gears. This car is drive by wire so for some reason the little motor that's controlling the throttle body is not reacting quickly enough to my foot input on the pedal. I would say that's a problem, at least in my mind it is.I personally believe this problem is one of perception and/or personal preference.
I know when I first bought my 8th generation Civic Si, I noticed the rev hang but thought it was just the way the car was created. I got used to it and it never bothered me. Others would complain about it and Honda addressed it with a software update.
Now we're on the 9th generation and the rev hang is definitely more tame than before, but again some people either aren't used to it, don't like it, or both. It simply doesn't bother me one bit and I never even notice it.
The only reason Honda is addressing it again is because of complaints that people don't like it. But in the end, the rev hang is normal and not something that is "wrong" with your car.
I hear ya jasonandre and I'm glad it doesn't bother you. I bugs the sh*t outta me and continues to be the one thing about this car that does so I'm hoping that when Honda Canada gets their act together, new updated software will make it better.I recognize that the rev does hang that long, I'm just referring to perception. It doesn't bother me one bit, so I don't perceive it to be a problem for me.
what did u tell the honda maintenance to check?? i called in and told them how i heard about a software update with the rev hang. they were useless, they asked for vin and looked it up (which i can do for myself) and said there were no recallsi got mine done today. if anyone in the nyc area is wondering where to go, i went to Bay Ridge Honda in Brooklyn.

the guy said he saw no service bulletins, no software updates, nothing when he looked on the honda information database.
he told me to bring it in and plug it in and see what it says on friday.
