Earlier this year I had the same issue and I was told by the Acura&Honda shop I just had a bad 02 sensor. The car has normal cracking when starting. Occasionally when I start it sounds like a putt or something clogged. It struggles to start. Also my MPG is very low. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

 

When was the last time you tuned it up!


~sparkplugs
~oil change
~seafoam DIY`s (crank case, vacuum line and gas tank)

 

I believe it is time for a tune up, I changed the spark plugs in February. I need to do another oil change. I never heard of seafoam.

 

How many miles have been driven since the tune-up ?
It may surprise ya that many TL's can go up towards 100k on NGK's !!!
