About A Day Ago My 99 Acura Tl Starting Vibrating And Tcs, Cel Lights Came On. I Need Help On How To Solve This I Seen A Couple Of Threads Talking About The Same Problem Egr Needs Cleaning Or Cat Is Bad Or Maybe A Sensor OR MAYBE THE INJECTORS ARE DIRTY CAR WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS WITHOUT TURNING ON. I Also Want To Know How Can I Get The Problem Codes Anyone ?!?!

 

If you can get it to autozone or kragen type parts store- they will come out and remove a plastic cover- plug in the reader and tell you the code numbers
Report back here with those

Its free for them to check for you too

 

Well first you need to go to a auto parts store and get the codes read. Once you do that we can help you.

 

Alright Thank You I Will Have To Do That Thursday Is The Car Drivable Or Best To Leave It Alone?

 

4th of july without my baby

 

So do it today- places are open till 8 or 9 Take them 5 minutes to test for FREE
then you can spend a few hours fixing your baby right away

This the internet- we want instant gratification from diagnosing your prob!

 

After rereading that its been 8 months since its been turned on, Change the oil first thing. Then pour a can of seafoam or fuel injector cleaner, or something like heat into the fuel tank. Take it for a drive moderately giving it gas/bringing up the revs and see if it takes care of the issue. If the idle smooths out then all you need to do is reset the ECU. Your IAC valve may also be dirty/gunked up slightly causing this issue

 

wqith no change in fuel for 8 months, probably the gas has water in it or has gone bad along with the oil. Pour some seafoam into the oil and into the gas

 

i found out the codes they are p0301,p0304,p0303,p0306

cylinder 1,3,4,6 are misfiring

 

i did some troubleshooting in my car i found them in a couple of threads. first i put some injector cleaner and ran the car to see if the problem could be solve and i noticed that at high rpms or letting the gas go the car wasnt vibrating like it was at low rpms or at take off. the injector fluid never solve the problem so i was wondering if my next step is going to the coil packs. should i buy one and test each one out anyone?

 

Yes- thats usually the real prob with mutiple misfire codes
Buy 1 coil pack and try it down the line till it makes a differance
The gas in the tank will have bad stuff in it from sitting- throw in a can of seafoam and run another can thru the intake vacuum line

 

sorry i meant the car was sat for 8 months in the past i bought the car 3 months ago and i've been using it daily. i will try buying 1 coil pack whats the price on 1 coil from ACURA?

 

I am just gonna guess 100 and thats why every says only buy 1 and keep trying it!

 

i just looked it up its $55 for one

 

Wow what a score- I think they raised the price for everything on the 2000+ cars!

 

yup $60 to be exact hope it fixes the problem im gonna see if they have it in stock

 

44 bucks OEM

i solved my problem with the coil car seems fine now thanks guy!

 

g/l, hah,

i took my tl to both autozone, and advanced auto, and both of there obd2 scanners wouldn't work.??

Im not really sure, but it seemed like they did everything correctly, i even tried myself.

 

I do not have the vibration in my '03 TL but I do have cel issue, after spending some money at the dealer for diagnosis, they recommed changing PCM ($1k). I don't buy that crap and find it hard to believe that my PCM is faulty with just 55k miles on it. They did not suggest coil replacement or anything else?

Do you guys think this will be a viable solution for me as well?

My codes are P0301 and P0305.

Thanks.

 

If you are having a misfire code i would replace the plugs and try 1 new coil.

 

Will try... one more question: does it matter if it is non-OEM parts. It is convenient for me to get it from my local Advance Autoparts store then paying for shipping, and expensive getting it from the dealers in my area ($75).

Also, I have never seen under the hood of my TL, hope it is not that complicated to replace the plugs and the coil.

Thanks.
