Hi first time post.

1997 Acura 3.2 TL Premium

No spark in number 1 and 2 cylinder. Replaced spark plugs in bad cylinders, no spark. Swapped coil paks still no spark. Replaced Egnition control module no spark.

Each connector going to the coils has 12 volts even on cylinder 1 and 2.

I was browsing the forum and came upon the Extended Emissions Warranty.

I have not used this warranty, due i just take it to the Acura dealership or due i need to call the 800 number? Will it cover the symptoms the car has?

carpenterty

A little help i found a member who has had similiar issues with his Acura, however i can not message him. I am told i do not have privelages?

His Username is dubcnea

I would like to know if he resolved his problems.

You swapped coils with which known good ones?

carpenterty

I swapped coils with 5 and 6. Both of these showed spark when tested. Actually all had spark except 1 and 2. However the spark wasn't very strong.

Know i have it all put back together put the negative post back to the battery and now no codes?

carpenterty

Got it started codes are back same ones. Car still stuttering. I called Acura and they told me the Extended Warranty should cover all powertrain issues. I will have it towed to the dealership tomorrow.

I will let all know the outcome and solutions to this problem

carpenterty

Found the problem.

A rodent had gotten up inside the engine and ate through the Wire harness at the firewall. Cost to fix $1,500.

carpenterty

Sorry cost to fix, $1050.00 still a hell of a lot!
