stalling... help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

99 TL stalling like a mother f and I get the "check engine" and "tcs" lights. Started stalling after pressure washing the engine... maybe something got wet?

Going down the block stalls atleast 3 times!

I changed the battery a month ago

called the acura recall hotline and "ignition switch" was changed but "ignition interlock" hasn't been changed.

The girl on the phone said the ignition interlock has nothing to do with the stalling.

My boys is almost 100 percent sure its the egr. It doesn't vibrate like it has parkinson's disease though!

Any suggestion with this piece of shit? Going to have to tow it to the dealar ship.

get it to a parts store and have them read the code. I dont think its the EGR (its possible but not likely) if it was the egr, once driving it shouldnt stall.

What were you doing Pressure Washing the engine??? you should never do that.
And i wouldnt call it a piece of shit for something you did to it
