2005 Acura TL starting by itself with no key?
so out of the blue i go to start the car this morning and it turns over like the batteries dead. ok no problem. take the key out of the ignition and it tries starting itself. then a couple seconds later it tries starting itself again. put the key back in and it stopped. i dont know if it was from the key but it stopped then. battery has some fluid on it so i assume its a wierd glitch due to battery failure. put my yellowtop in and as soon as i connect the cables it starts itself! shuts off then starts its self again. shuts off and starts itself again! i had my wife put the key in the ignition and it stops after the third time starting. is this a normal sequence the car goes through or do i have something wrong? it shouldnt even be able to start without the key should it?
