Y O Y the engine check
I was driving on the I-5 S and my engine check light and my TCS comes on. After I got to my destination, turned off my car and turned it back on. Then only my engine check came on. Anyone had this problem? I'll have my car checked with OBD-II. Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies. I will get a code reading tomorrow (or today since I'm writing past midnight) but I will get the code and reply the errors I am getting. Thanks again.

say goodbye to your transmission, if i were you i would take it to the acura dealership and they can find the real problem, dont take it to the little places like autozone , take it to the dealer, i had the same problem, you might not feel anything weird now but in about 2 or 3 weeks you will start to feel the problems. usually the tranny problems start out with the egr code, well thats what happend to my transmission, take it to the dealer, remember acura extended their tranny warranty 7yr or 100,000 miles , better go there before u hit ethier

I went to autozone when this happened to & had the same error code. So I did the intake manifold cleaning+I cleaned the injectors & added the thermoblock spacer kit. That fixed the problem for me. BlackTL, I think that was coincidental that your tranny went soon after you got that code.

You've gotta love the US government for forcing us to have exhaust go back into the intake... (EGR)
Does this really do more good to a car (or the environment) than it does harm in terms of gunking it up?
