Gauges Flashing!!
Gauges Flashing!!
So I was leaving The Mexican Restaurant. I came to a traffic light and I needed gas and the gas station was on my right and i was in the left lane. So i thought i'd just punch it a lil bit and get infront of the cars and pull into the gas station.
So I just barely chirp my tires and I pull into the gas station and I see like 4 lights on my gauge on.. I'm like wtf! I see the following lights:
1. The Engine Malfuntion Light
2. The VSA Light Located Beneath the Engine Malfunction Light
3. The Exclamation Point Light for when I take off VSA. But I toggled my VSA button and the light stayed on.
4. The Maintainance Required Light Flashes exactly 10 times when I turn on the car.
So Whats going on guys? Someone told me that my Intake Temp. Over Heated.
But I'm not sure what it is...

You most likely hade a misfire, or it could have just been the o2 sensor..... Get the ECU scanned, or reset it and see if it happens again... I had it happen to me twice, and just had to reset the ecu.. never happened once i did that.. 6 months in between both of them
i figured i'd reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery real quick, but that damn thing is on there tough. So I'll report back later this week cause I wont have time to check it out cause of work.
I had the all the lights come one like you did just prior to transmission failure on my 5AT. Take it in and get them to pull the codes...
After a reset all my lights went off except the check engine light, which stayed on.
By the way... I love the rotors you sold me. I have them on my new ride and they not only look great, but also work great - Thanks!

yep yep yep. Veeral those are the lights that come on when the tranny is having explosive diarrhea.
Check your tranny fluid too, and see how it looks.

I tookmy car to Baranco Acura today and dropped it off. There were 3 problems.
1. I need a new O2 Sensor.
2. I need a new PCM.
3. I need a new Battery.
Everything is covered under warranty except my battery. They will make me pay for 40% of the battery.
I'm glad my tranny is alright :-D

yea, we'll give it to you for 40% off... when the bill comes, i owe $80 for the same piece of shit battery... only a newer one. save the money and get a die hard or optima or something. it'll last longer than the OEM one.
