I have the smell as described and high CO in the cabin when in recirc. I've measured over 100 PPM which is crazy for inside a vehicle at freeway speeds. I've been fighting with dealer and acura and they can't find anything wrong.

I did just look at the access cover at it is full of dust in that compartment so I am guesssing that your investigation of the cause is still correct for me ?

Your thoughts and I am very much appreciative of your wonderful writeup on this.

Thanks

It is a shame we had to find the problem ourselves. I am very disappointed in Acura's response to the high carbon monoxide that I reported inside my vehicle.

db22, you should have seen my CO detector when I was measuring in the compartment mentioned earlier above the body plugs and vents. It spiked unbelievably high when accelerating. (>300PPM) Most vehicles’ have a low pressure swirl behind them.

Again I can’t thank “yungone501” enough for getting me looking in the right area.
