I have a 2001 acura TL it has 9400 miles on it. Changed the battery put in new fuel pump. It is getting gas, drained and new gas put in. getting spark and plugs are good. tried starting fluid. won't start. Any ideas? Maybe fuel injectors clogged? Help

 

Starter cranking fast?

One way to confirm that the injectors are working is to pull the plugs to see if they're wet after cranking with no start. If dry maybe main relay or clog injectors?

Check all fuses?

Seems like you've done everything else. Only things left would be to check fuel pressure, timing marks, and compression?

Check all grounding cables for defect?

 

This is posted in the wrong generation TLX forum. Maybe a Mod will move it for you.

How to Diagnose Fuel Injector Problems | eBay

 

Thank you. The Ebay article is excellent. It might be my problem. I just don't know if I am capable to remove and clean the injectors. (which I think is the main problem). How do I find a competent mechanic? I guess I have to have the car towed to a shop. Any idea on how much it will cost to remove and clean the injectors?

Forgive me for reposting. I have now idea what I am doing on this forum.

 

I'd just google for auto repair in your area. Read reviews, Check Angies List, Ask friends, call a few shops and describe your problem and see which seems helpful and wants your business. Of course you could always take it to your local Acura dealer. They may be interesting to see a 10 yr old TL with less than 10K miles on it. But they won't be the cheapest.

 

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

 

I would love to see some pics of a 14 year old car with under $10k miles... Heck I would even love to buy it hahahaha
