in stop-and-go traffic, or when first accelerating after being completly stopped, my 2002 RL will not respond to soft pressure on the accelerator. I need to continue pressing on the accelerator until the car suddenly jumps forward - highly annoying. Is this typical? Think its fixable? Thanks

Possible tranny problem. Honda has extended the regular transmission warranty to eight years/80K miles on account of certain congenital defects.
Take it in to your dealer, describe your symptoms. They will have heard this before.
