IMRC dead
My IMRC (the actuator) is not moving when I rev the engine up. Also, I can move it by hand and it stays where I leave it. I think it should move back under spring tension.
I think the actuator motor is shot.

Update: Acura won't loan me a car for just this issue. 
So, since I am at 40K miles, I am going to have the 45K service done as well, which qualifies me for a loaner car.
And, I am going to have them fix:
Squeaky sunroof (what is that tsb #)
Squeaky seats (crickets)
What else should I have them check while they have me by the shorthairs?

what else?
What else is on the punch list from your experiences that I should have them look into proactively? I want to get as much as I can in one visit.
Thanks, Chrisbert

It’s been that way since the first Acura I bought back in 1991.
I do have to schedule it a week ahead, but I don’t have a problem with that.

Well, I dropped it off this morning, and the service writer says "what loaner", I don't have any loaners. I told him the fellow who I talked to said no problem. So he tells me that guy needs an education. I told him not at my expense.
Anyway, the car is in their hands for the day, and I have a regular CL for a loaner. What a different feeling car! It doesn't feel nearly as quick as my S even though the quoted 0-60 times aren't that far off from each other.
It has black faced guages. They look like they forgot to install the guages; just one big black instrument cluster. Also weird it the interior is black, but the wood trim is brown.
Oh well, cannot complain too much. Free "rental car", and I have paid to rent a whole lot worse.

Uhhhh....
The CLS has black wood on black leather. The CLP I drove had brown wood on black leather.
So before you flame on there cowboy, read! Just found it odd that they combined the brown wood trim with the black interior.
