2007 TL Base hesitation

I’ve been reading and researching, couldn’t really find anything,
ive been having a hesitation while at a steady idle
example: going 35mph rpm at 1800 I’ll feel it hesitate, idle jumps to 1800 to 1900 or 1800 then down too 1700 then back to 1800 unless I accelerate, everything is normal, shifts normal idle is normal.

my tube seals were leaking but clean S/P and coils, cleaned TB and IMF. Still happening. If I’m going highway speeds steady or deceleration it doesn’t do it, just low gears and low Rpm’s. Any help would be great. Been reading and nothing helped, I read about transmission slippage, but fluids are good. Any help again would be awesome love the car but kinda fed up. Thank you!!

I'd be inclined to toss the K&N in the trash, clean the MAP sensor, and put an OEM style filter back on.

Went to the dealership see if they can help me, after explaining my symptoms he said there’s too much oil in the transmission. Bought 3 quarts. I just drained the oil out, about 4.6quarts cane out. Took it down the street after and it feel a lot better but that was just down the street. I may take it to acura for them to make sure the oil is on point

I believe the method to check tranny fluid is to start the car cold and let it sit until the fans kick in for the first time, shut it down immediately after, then check your tranny dipstick. Level should be between the marks and you're fine. No need to take it to the dealer for that.

Assuming the fluid isn't the fix, I'm not too sure. Potentially and issue with the air/fuel ratio.
