Ok so my car has been acting up! I have to turn the key several times and nothing happens and then all of a sudden it will start. Today it did it again I turned the key on and off many times then it started up However when I stopped at the gas station I turned the car off and took out the key and to my amazement the engine was still running... I cannot turn my car off..I had to disconnect the battery to get it to go off WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM!!! also tcs light came on and p1676 was thrown? Help?

 

my guess would be something with the ignition. but im not sure

 

check fuses too

 

are you driving a 1999 TL?
If so call Acura at 1-800-382-2238 x5 with the cars VIN number in hand
There is RECALL for free replacement of the key/ignition switch-
that sounds like your problem just off the top of my head.

 

P.S> I already had the recall done!!!

 

And even brand new parts are known to fail
Several other members had the switch done a few years ago , and the problem occured again. Its recall- they will check it and replace again if needed

Its like the transmission- they were just swapping out parts till they made a better part to use.
Your symptoms are similar to others who had the car suddenly die and give codes

phee: we need your story here!!

 

dealer mistake?

Have a dealership or trusted hop check it out, but not do anything. If it's the same repair as the recall, the dealership might be at fault.

 

i had the recall done as well, try turning the key and pushing it inward toward the ignition. if that gets the car to stay on then its the ignition switch. you can order the part and have it replaced anywhere, its like a 30 minute job. or you can DO IT YOURSELF!!! or visit the dealer, most parts have about a 1 year warranty
