My 03' CL-S 6MT suddenly won't start. Symptoms similar to when I haven't pushed the clutch down all the way. Turns over but won't kick off. Worked fine a month ago and never has happened before. Battery fully charged, all electronics work DVD, gauges, heat, radio, wipers, signal, lights. Anyone have a clue? No way to get it to a garage for testing other than a tow and just seems like something minor I'm not doing. Any help appreciated.

Sup bro...it happened to my 6 speed Type a couple months ago, to save you a few hundred dollars and lots of headaches, double check your EFI fuel relay under the dash, thats usually the case I found out from watching a ton of videos
on youtube whats the typical issues on our cars, if thats not the issue its the fuel pump itself. When the incident occurred I went ahead and replaced both so no issues in the future, hope it helps bro

Thanks, it actually sounds like a no fuel issue just didn't know where to start. What exactly were you viewing on youtube to come up with this? Greatly appreciated

If the Main (Mitsuba) Relay Assembly, (39400-S84-003) is found to be the issue, follow the thread below, for a 2g TL, to find where it lives in your CL-S6.

In addition, if you purchase this relay, don't cheap out and buy aftermarket, get an OEM one.

I definitely concur with Zeta...get it from your local Acura dealer

I've always heard about people having problems with their main relay. (Causing no start)

Hopefully it's something already mentioned.

No check engine lights?

Fuel pump/relay/spark/compression?
