07 RDX Rough idle, loss of power when accelerating, Emissions/SHAWD check light
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forums. I'm looking for some help with a recent problem that came up with my RDX. Perhaps some experts here can shed some light on what it may be.
Car: 2007 RDX with Tech Package at ~128,000 miles.
Issue Symptoms:
Has anyone had the same issues? Know what could the issue be?
Thanks
I'm new to the forums. I'm looking for some help with a recent problem that came up with my RDX. Perhaps some experts here can shed some light on what it may be.
Car: 2007 RDX with Tech Package at ~128,000 miles.
Issue Symptoms:
- check emissions/ check SHAWD light came on,
- car idles rougher than before, shakes when idling
- feels really weak when accelerating from a stop and sometimes will stall (accelerates fine when moving)
- I recently took it in for service, so I have a new battery from Acura, they said the issue was with the positive battery terminal which was loose. I got that replace at Autozone, and the check emissions and SHAWD lights went away for about a week then came back. Terminals don't appear to be loose. Car starts fine from what I can tell.
- Car seemed to accelerate better when I refilled to a better gas (use 93 from Quicktrip, previously I had filled up using 93 from Valero twice because I wasn't near a Quicktrip). However, that impression of good power/acceleration lasted only a few days and the stalling when accelerating from a stop is back again.
- These issues could be completely unrelated but I'm just not sure. I noticed the symptoms were similar to a forum post on an EGR valve issue for an MDX. I did call Acura and the parts guy said the RDX does not have an EGR valve and the only thing with a similar function is a purge valve. He suggested I check the forums for what may be the issue.
Has anyone had the same issues? Know what could the issue be?
Thanks
