there is a lag in acceleration when you romp on the throttle as if it was a loosely adjusted cable

Did the TSX get DBW in 04? I know my 06 Accord has a lag when I come to a near stop and then hit the gas again to continue... the car almost seems to pull back for a second before accelerating. From what I gather, this is a typical symptom of DBW. The car has done it since new and I'm now about to turn 28k... so I'm assuming it's just the nature of the beast.
