Hi,
Not sure anybody has posted this topic or where I can find in this forum. I just bought a new 2001 Acura 3.2 CL Type S. But I found out my car will jerk slightly and engine sounds like turning from high to low spining mode after I stop on red light idling for a while.

Does anybody has same problem? or the problem will go off as I drive more.
Any help info or suggestion?

 

Welcome to the Acura family. Bring your car back to a dealership and have it looked at. It's under warranty !

It sounds like the AC compressor cycling. They all do it. Keep your foot firmly on the brake while in gear.

This is somewhat normal during extended idling- it can almost feel like someone bumped you in the rear! It seems to be the engine idle compensating for changing load conditions- ac compressor, alt. etc. We have had many comments about this but there is really nothing wrong. I feel it all the time in both my CL-s and my wifes TL. No need to worry- just be aware that it will happen at times!

exactly

 

Its all them hoarses under the hood waiting to be unleased!

 

yeah it's that AC compressor cycling on and off. click on the AC button until it says A/C off on the display. When it says "AC off" the compressor will not cycle on and off.

 

Yep mine does the same thing, one of these days I'm going to bump the car in front of me.

 

heh, I thought this thread would be about asshole drivers. i.e. - jerks that drive.

Ya, it's the A/C compressor. Remember, we have a HUGE A/C compressor, look in the CL brochure, it claims one of the "coldest" A/C's.
