Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Hello all,

I have weird problem...

Two times, my car when i started it, the engine was shaking hard, it stopped after like 30 seconds each time.

One week later, today, i start the car, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp went on, for no reason.

Any ideas?! Please Help.


Thank you.

easiest way to figure out the problem is bring it to thr dealer, they'll tell you what's wrong with it.

sounds like you had a bad patch of gas and your cylinders misfired.

Well, I went to the dealer...

It is not coverd my the damn warranty and it will cost me around $1000

They said something is misfiring because something is wrong with the fuel controller system....i think its BS. But im worried.

the car drives fine, everything as it orginally was.

i dont know what to do.

My check engine light just came one randomly tonight as well. All I know is I was driving over a slightly bumpy stretch of road, not too harsh, but still a little bumpy. It has turned on and has stayed on. I'm wondering if the engine just misfired and all I need to do is reset the check engine light.

Yes, exactly the same problem happend today, the engine and TCS came on while i was starting the car. The car was shaking and the RPMs barely dropped to almost Zero.

I am going tomorrow or Saturday to fix it, and yes, I have to pay 1000 bux for that sh*t.

Im very upset!

Silver, where in brooklyn are you? so we can meet and look at that sh*t, we have to go to the same Plaza Acura anywayz.
pirvate msg me.
