Recently bought a 98 2.5TL. Love it! The one problem is that it idles a little hard. Otherwise, performance is great. Only has 36K. Please give me any suggestions. Thanks.

 

Man i think its all in your head , 36k miles, and you think you have a little problem man? My car is a 97 with 96k, your car is a baby right now, the back of its ears are still drippin.
You made an excellent choice, jus keep the oil changed , service up, and burn good gas, you will not here a peep out of the car just like me..
Well that is until you have to get a new timing belt and all (ITS NOT A PRETTY SERVICE VISIT} i paid 690.00 for timing belt and water pump work. However i was quoted up to the tune of 900.00 for that service......, but you are ions away from all that, ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

sup man, welcome to the board. Not exactly sure what's happening but i'm sure some intake and exhaust will fix that problem right up hehe j/k. but yeah maybe you're just not use to the car yet. who knows. if it really bothers you take it into the dreaded Acura dealership and have them take a look at it. have fun with your car

 

Thanks for the replies. I'm afraid that I'll have to take the dreaded step of taking it to the dealer. When it idles hard (it comes and goes), I can feel it in the seat and the door arm-rest. Hey, but this should only be a minor problem, so no sleep lost.

BTW, what a GREAT site!!! So informative!!! I have much catching up to do. First, I think I will try the home depot grill that I read about yesterday. Then I have to work on installing a tweeter (mine either was disconnected or never installed).

Thanks again.

 

Try using a fuel injector cleaner or resetting your ECU. If you have a custom intake...then going back to stock airbox might help too. My tl used to idle roughly but now its much better.
