hi, so i have a CAI installed in my car, but a few weeks ago its been raining non stop for a week and streets started to flood so i changed my intake to short. After a few day, lets just say i park to go eat at a restaurant and i come out and start it, it would start and run for about a second and start shaking and shuts off. Any idea what this could be? Thankks

 

i have tat same prob

 

From your list of mods, looks like you dont have an intake, i kinda thought it was from my intake so guess not ;/

 

A pretty common problem for the 1999 TL is a failing ignition switch. It can cause stalling problems. There is actually a recall for it and, if it hasn't been replaced already, Acura will install a new one for free.

You can also replace it yourself and there's an excellent "how to" thread linked in the DIY Thread.

My 1999 TL is on its third ignition switch.

 

its not my ignition switch cause i replace it and it only happens sometimes and ill stop if i just try to put it in gear and drive than it doesnt shut offf

 

I hve this exact problem.

Each time i would take off the IM clean EGR, and reinstall properly. I think its a vac leak though\

In my case it is for sure not the IACV

 

yeah same thing. only happens sometimes and i have to give it some gas and sometimes that still doesnt work and ill have to wait awhile. poping the hood and airing it out seems to help haha

 

So is the problem the ignition switch? Or an unknown problem? lol

 

unknown...haha

its not the ignition switch

 

haha how weird thx guys
