So a few months ago i was driving to work in the morning as i slowed down and went to turn right into the lot the steering wheel wouldnt hardly turn, i made it into lot, all the light were lit up on the dash....the car had stalled! i restarted it drove it around on the airport where i work doing lots of turns and such trying to get it to do it again but no luck....then 2 months after that same spot same place, it did it again turning into the lot!! kinda freaky that it only happend there both times. I called my local dealer and they said they never heard of a such a problem, asked me if there were any cell phone towers near by? and then said try go get it to happen again so that i can bring it to them and show them exactly what is happening, but unless i could make it happen for them that they couldnt help me. Well another month has went by but yesterday while going down a hill, it stalled. So im getting fustrated w/this car and acura. Has anyone had any problems similar to this or got ANY ideas??

 

Check for carbon build up around your TB and IM(upper and lower). Check fuel filter.

Are you using crappy gas?

I've noticed winter gas sucks in my car regardless that I use supreme.

 

"Check fuel filter"

Attached to the fuel pump in the tank. Not a service part.

 

seafoam???

 

that happened to me about 3 times total back in the day, when I only had 10k on my silver CL. I just started he up and drove off, couldn't reproduce the problem at will, so I just shrugged it off, never happened again after those 3 times.

 

i cleaned the throttle body yesterday, it was pretty dirty...it run alot smoother but time will tell if it just "stalls" randomly again!!!

 

The CL & TL(& most new cars now) run rich from the from the factory. It's supposed to make the car more EPA friendly. A side effect is fast carbon buildup so it's getting very common to have to clean TB's & IAC valves often.
