Help out PLEASE .

So my 1997 acura 3.0 Cl has been acting up on me lately. when i try to start it sometimes the lights on the dash come on to indicate ACC2 on the ignition. sometimes they dont. Then if they do and it starts it dies RIGHT after it starts. giving it gas doesnt help. voltage is stable. not sure wwhat it could be. and i need it fixed ASAP. help me out before i have to invest in a mechanic!


i need this help. i have a show on the 16th i have to go too and if it dont start im screwed.

a lot of people have been having similar issues lately and the starting trouble shoot has been the ignition switch in the column or the coil in the distributor.

will they honor this even 10 years after the recall????
g.m. dicked me around and said that only covers driving hazzards and once the 1st owner sells the car they wont fix none hazzardouse issues.

if honda/acura fixes this after 10+ years that is a standing -o from this cl owner.

Acura will honor the recall as long as it has not been done yet...regardless of time...honda stands by their product MUCH better than the snakes at GM....theres a reason they went bankrupt...glad to hear they havent learned from their mistakes

hahahahahahah, yup.
i used to only drive dom's, i used to be a g.m. fanatic but after way to many bad experiances and a ride in my bud's 14.6 second b18c and doing some homework im now a J.D.M. fan.
the build quality, the ingenuity and acctually giving a shit about the product has won me over. the big 3 didnt learn their lesson they just put more into marketing and flash... as usual.
