Mine came on today, too. Had it scanned and it was random misfire on all cylinders. Had my friend reset it, and drove the shit out of the car for the rest of the day to see if it would come back, and it never did.
Must be the national "Acura MIL On" day.

i was doing some research on the PCM i found
"The PCM was a recall that was required by Acura for cars that had had the tranny replaced. Mine was working pretty well prior to the PCM replacement and I wish I hadn't done it."
do they still have that recall? when i asked them if they replace the PCM with a tranny, they said no.
HELP ME PLEASE!

well, i've decided to sell my car. i've been debating on it for a while now, and i just gave up. i might as well sell it now since i can make more money off of it than down the line after i hit 100k. i hopefully want to get 11,500 from it without the mods. keeping budget under 20k hopefully i can find something decent with low miles. wish me luck!!!!!!
