actuator saga part deux
took my car to another dealer and test drove it with the technician , they immediatly brought me another brand new CL-s to test drive , and he also hooked up a computer and saw when the solenoid was swtiching on . and a bunch of other stats while we were test driving it .
he said he hasnt seen the actuator thing move while the car wastn in gear . we tried the new one and it didnt switch on either.
hmm,

What is your build date? Maybe Acura changed the software so the actuator does not funciton in Park or N?
Sounds like the new dealer has a much better service department

BTW -- any electronic diagnostics WOULD NOT be able to detect the actual movement of the cable or the movement of the actuator. Just 'cause I push a light switch doesn't mean the light bulb is NOT burned out -- get it?

I have one of the later CLS (#36615) and I can verify that the actuator moves while in PARK!

Someone should videotape the IMRC in action and tape it with sound. The CLS makes a distinct click and then what resembles a blowoff valve when the pedal is release at that RPM and then show it to the dealers. CHOD????
