hey all....

so this morning my 99 TL started acting weird

when in neutral or park, the revs fluctuate from about 1000 to 2000, repeatedly.
it just goes back and forth in a continuous motion

when in drive or reverse, that problem goes away, but it seems to have a more agressive throttle than usual

after about an hour of this, the check engine light came on

about 3 months ago, the dealer replaced the egr valve and cleaned out the ports

could this be something related??

i will take it to autozone to pull the code, just wanted to get this out there and see if anyone had any ideas....

thanks in advance

 

Impossible to tell you without codes.

 

Sounds like an idle valve problem... but I haven't heard of a code being thrown for that problem. Get it read and let us know what comes up. I'm just curious if the code is related to it.

 

thanks guys....i will get a code pulled today and let you know what comes up

3 months ago i had the EGR valve fully replaced and paid for by acura client services
they better take care of this or i'm going ballistic - the last 3 years this car has been nothing but a nightmare

blah

 

adrenaline - good guess bro

P0505 - Idle Control System Malfunction

anyone dealt with this before??
any relation to any other common problems??

i need ammunition for acura client services

 

booo....the stealer said it'd be around 160 bucks to get it fixed assuming it's what we think it is

acura client services said no way on any help with this one - that sucks

i think as soon as i get this one fixed, it's getting sold, i'm so sick of dealing with this car

 

pick up a new one and install it your self. its a easy swap

 

how would one go about installing it himself?

 

I'd had exact same problem one week ago, replaced idle motor ($100 parts) with 2.5 labor.
Problem no loger exists.
