Last ight i was cleaning out my 2003 TL-S and listening to the radio, when all the sound went to the sub. I then tried to start the car; only got clicks. Ok, no problem, dead battery.(original acura battery, it said 100 month which is 8.3 years, I got 7 so i'm not complaining)

Put new battery in, car started no problem. This was late last night, so I just shut it off and went to bed.

This morning car starts and I pull off, but I notice that the rpms are kinda low and that the idle is very rough at idle. It was perfectly fine before battery swap.

Acurazine, any clue on what this is? The car has been fine with no issues, except for new tranny 2 years ago.

Thanks,

Walfunk

 

ECU prob has to re-learn idle or something...Since the battery was removed.

 

ANC297, thanks for the response....just came back i after driving during lunch....seems like it is better now....

Now, if I use seafoam regularly, will I still have to worry about my
IACV or EGR ports getting clogged? Is it inevitable that they will need to be cleaned even if you use quality gas and seafoam every say 10,000 miles?

 

after reseting ECU let it idle for 10m.

 

I'd say yes...Even though Seafoam does deliver good clean, you should never be too sure....I would open it up every now and then and take a look to see whats going on inside the egr and iacv...

 

Thanks for all of the help and info fellas..I really appreciate it...
