Now the new problem... SRS light lit up on the dash. Called Acura, they wanted $99 for a "diagnosis" ... read up on Azine, it was due to a weak battery (battery was bad). Replaced the battery this morning, reset the SRS light. Now anytime I come to a complete stop, the car shudders and nearly dies if I don't give it some gas. Pretty sure it'll die completely if I have the AC running (taking more power) Any ideas? All advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

FPR
bad gas (run injector cleaner) seafoam
how bad are ur wires, plugs etc
or just give in and do a diagnostic check

 

FPR? Always kept 93 octane in it, but I'll run a bottle of injector cleaner in it when the tank gets closer to empty sometime this week. Plugs... I believe they were changed about 2 years ago, but I haven't gotten 'em out to check. How hard is it to get the back 3 plugs out? space is pretty cramped...

 

IAC valve or vacuum leak.

No wires on the CLS, Coil on plug design.

 

idle air controller & vacuum leak... how can I check these? Never even heard of an IAC valve :-\

 

thanks i know but I stand corrected.

 

i would clean out the iac valve first. mine did that and i clean the valve out . now she running just fine. search iac valve. it will show up. pretty straight forward. remove it spray some carb cleaner and wipe it clean.

 

my car acts like that when one of the 02 sensors is on its way out...usually a even a few weeks before i get a cel
