Every morning when i start up my acura tls 03 the engine light, vsa light and the triangle light would come on. After a little bit of driving and turning off and on the car it would go away except the engine light. I just changed my spark plugs yesterday and ill be changing my coils next week i also reset the ECU also somone HELP!!!!

 

Well same thing happened when my 1st tranny started to Show Bad Signs, Hope is not your Case ....

 

this is my 2nd tranny. when i first bought my car my tranny went out in about a week the dealership took it back and did 50/50 where i pay half and they paid half. and now 10 months later this shittttt happens

 

Have you Scanned the Code yet?? When the same thing happened I got a Torque Converter Solenoid thing, The Super Mega Mod told me my trans was acting Up and YUP 1 week later my trans would not shift into third...

 

if i knew the 03 tl type s had problems i wouldve never got it!!! i was looking at the tsx before i got this one but the interior was all jacked up so i picked this one. FML!!

 

The only real Problem is the AUTO 5Spd, But Another Hondas have that same problem as well...

If you can Afford a MT Swap your problems will be gone forever, If you plan to keep the car start digging up how to extend the Auto Tranny life. Start with the External Coolers and get High Temp Oil for the Trans even then the Auto would not last forever but It will work longer...

Thats the Cruel Reality of the Auto TL-S I dont regret it Buying It Tough

 

how much is the MT swap for the engine?

 

There´s TONs of Threads about it in Here, Most of them Average at 2.5K.... with New Parts. Gets Cheaper if you found used ones but keep the critical ones New, Like the Clutch MC and Others...

 

LMFAO, especially if you want the "CL" tranny (~$1800 or you can also go the Tl route for about $1200; or if you are really f@cking cheap the accord route WITHOUT the LSD for under $1000

and iirc the clutch alone you are looking at, at least $500 (should be new at the very least)

 

If I only Had Money and Knowledge to do the Swap, Must be Sweet driving the TL-S in REAL MANUAL.....

 

when you `partial pay` the trans replacement, it comes with 3 year 36kmiles warranty!!
get your car to the dealer NOW

why replace all the coils??- got a multi misfire code after plug change?
that can be a loose connector or 1 bad coil,,rare to see it NEED all 6

got the codes read yet? dont clear them after reading by reset of ECU
keep them so dealer can read too

no need to reset the ecu after a spark plug change,,
after BAD COIL REPLACED, YES reset ecu by clock fuse method

dont keep screwing with it to make the warning lights go out- find out what they mean and deal with it
So what if the trans died- they will get you another one~ free!!!

 

what spark plugs did you use?

 

yeah not cheap, but YES so..... much better then that slushbox



and fixed
and if they are coming on that frequent, you definetely have a problem that needs to be fixed (lights don't just come on for no reason)

 

yea i got the codes read.

P1519

 

what spark plugs did you use? cheap ones make a huge running problem

see your new thread on the code for my suggestion of cleaning EGR system in manifold and take the TB apart- clean IAC valve system

but that code doesnt explain the cars behavior with all the warning lights

 

...me and my friend was thinking about it 6 speed swap unless you really love your car its probably worth it. if you want a 6 speed sell your auto TL and throw money on top of that and buy a CL-S with a 6 speed ah ha!

 

you would still end up haveing to buy all the parts like the shifter and ebrake stuff and cant forget the labor..

 

maybe you should read my sig, i have actually swapped mine....
