Ok it happened tday.
I have a 2000 TL with 64000 miles. Since today The maintenance light has started to blink when i turn on the car.

Any ideas on what parts need to be serviced, and should i go to acura or a regular mechanic.

Also when i start my car in the morning i feel very small vinbrations when the engine is idling, but after about 1 min the vibrations go away. Could it be the spark plugs? And did anyone else experience this before?

Any help is appreciated guys

 

if you have a manual now would be a good time to read it.

The maint required light is just a dummy light. its a perdetermined mileage for it to go off. its supposed to be reset at every oil change.

as for the vibration, it could be a few thing, possibly the spark plugs or a coil, or something emissions related.

 

My TL runs pretty rough for the first few seconds when the engine is cold. It was my understanding this is an emissions-related normal characteristic.
