What Caused the Lurch and how to fix
Pulling out this AM from a dead stop from my usual 'hot spot' for fresh produce, onto rt 22; a busy, built up 2 lane highway in NJ, I experienced a lag, a lurch of sorts that I have experienced before–when standing on the throttle–when I need to get out ahead of traffic. It was a bit disorienting to me. It was not like I was 'cutting in' on traffic, but, a maneuver that had to preformed quickly. Once I let up on the gas, the TSX took off nicely. What can I do to correct it?

When I first got my TSX I dealt with the dreaded "lurch" problems. I wasn't used to DBW and had to relearn how to shift.
Are you sure you didn't just eff up the shift?

Sounds exactly like VSA/Traction control kicking in. Likely one (or both) of the front wheels started to slip and the VSA reduced power output to compensate

There have been a number of posts about this and most (including myself) seem to agree that if you ease on the throttle rather than just stomping it, the car gets moving much more reliably.
