I have a '12 RDX ShAWD Non-TECH w/93,XXX mi, Wifes driving to work 15min later VSA & Check engine light start lighting up, car gets sluggish & starts shaking, Just purchased spark plug & ignition coils... I guess my question whats the cause(s), my guess is i think a got a bad batch of gas... Any & all opinions will be greatly appreciative... Thanks

 

the check engine light is a clue...it's telling you what's wrong...get the car scanned via OBDII reader...local autozone will check it for free.
Once you know what's wrong with it, then you can properly fix it. ie; wouldnt install those plugs and ignition coils...just yet

p.s. Dont guess. the car tells you exactly what is wrong with it.

 

I really didnt want to drive he and risk further damage...

 

^then buy an OBDII reader.

as soon as we know the codes, then we can move on to a solution...without the codes....Your guess is as good as my guess...which is nothing. we have nothing

 

Had a problem last week with, wifey was driving my '12 RDX and all of a sudden it lost power ride gotten real rough truck felt like it wanted to stall... Hooked it up to the scanner & it came back engine misfire cyl 1, So i had to get new spark plugs, changed coil pack in 1st cyl now my truck back in championship form... Thanks to my auto club bro for having the right tools & the space to keeps us out of the elements to work on our car... CAPICU A.C. Shaolin Island, NY

 

BTW, I never got to say thanks for your help, really apperciatie it...

 

no worries at all!

 

👏🏻

 

My 2007 with about 240K miles got super sluggish before I finally replaced the spark plugs. Bad plugs seem to kill all of the K23's power.

Glad you got it straighstraightened out!

 

I got my Spark Plugs Replaced on my 2009 RDX at 90,891 miles it cost me $252 for parts and labor at the local acura dealership. I’m at 151,000 miles now and never got the coil packs done. I think I will do them with my next spark plug change. I might even put on my hondata intake manifold gasket finally haha
