Hey everyone im Justin. I live out in broomfield Colorado an i just recently bought a 1998 Acura TL with the 3.2L V6. Ill post some pix of it here in a lil there gonna come off my cell so they wont look that great.

I love this car despite a few of her problems. Right Now my biggest Problem is the idle an take off, it kicks you could say putter in and out. I am clueless as to what it could be. The Engine as a 129K Miles on it. Everything else works perfectly. But i thought i would just try introducing my self.

 

Welcome to the forums

Have fun

 

its crazy how i rarely see the 3.2L TL for 1998

 

Yea i havent seen many of em around here, this is my first acura ever to own or drive. I just wish i could figure exactly whats wrong with it, but i still love this freakin car. I was driven around my grandparents 05 expidition for a wile, and needless to say that was stupid. im bout to upload pix of the car right now it doesnt look that great yet, ive only owned it now for like 3 days so i havent gotten a chance to start doing all the things i want to get done on it.

soon to come (Like next week) Is an Oil Change to full on Synthatic.

I just ordered some hawk perfromance full on ceramic brake pads so mmmmm
im look at this cool little spoiler for the ass end of her.

I plan repainting it the same pearl black that it alrdy is.

 

this is the gd expedition lol

 

Nice ride man. Mine's exactly the same as yours except you have tinted windows and I have gold emblems.

What % tint do you have by the way?

 

I love Star Trek.

~Cheers~

 

yo me 2 :P my brothers an i are in the war Star Trek VS Star Wars im losing, cause all of my family love star wars lmao and to answer your question i have no idea, is the way i can find out? If so ill go check it out and find out . how do those gold emblems look?

 

Well there are ways to measure but the only way I know you can get it measured is by getting pulled over by the cops if the tint laws are harsh where you live

I was never a fan of gold emblems, but I think they look pretty good. It's as if they give it more of a premium look, sadly most people on these forums disagree with my views and think that it looks cheesy.

 

cant say ive actually seen a TL with gold emblems yet. Yea im sure ill catch some flak for the tiny with the cops around here. They suck, they suck real bad and they alrdy dont like me little brother and me so go figure right

 

As far as the problem with idle/takeoff, do you notice when you step on the accelerator, from idle, almost like the engine sputters out, then comes back suddenly as the car lurches forward? I ask becasue I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be the plug wires were worn and grounding on the block. This only occured for me when the engine was well warmed up, and only from inital step-on from a stop, for example at a green light.

P.S. Welcome! I like the tint as well.

 

yea it is exactly that. it just started to when i bought, when i test drove it, it was fine, but then this started on my way home from purchasing the veichle and hasnt stoped since. Yea if i didnt drive it for a lil bit it kinda did better, it does good off an on. But the check engine light comes on? Did yours?

 

welcome!!!

 

i like my gold emblems???

 

Oh, I didn't know you had some. But you only have the Acura logo in gold, but the pieces around the grill and license plate are not gold plated, while on mine they are.

 

ill most likely keep mine chrome not sure yet. im bought to go out an put on my new brake pads

 

and mine fell off...

 

that sucks bro

 

all of mmine did 2...
