Yesterday after work, started my car (04 tl) after a 100 yards, the car staled. Restarted the car twice and couldn't go any where. Called a friend to come and check it. He notice that eveytime he was grabing the harness under the dash, the lights on the dash started to go crazzzy and still could start the car like it was floaded. We notice to that the red light by the P on the dash wasn't there anymore. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT.

Please need help ((

 

You said that your car is an '04, but I was wondering if your battery had ever been tested or replaced since that time. Also, when you put turn the ignition to the Accessory setting (On II), do your dash lights come on or no? If not, that could be attributed to your battery.

 

When i put my key in the ignition, everything lights up normaly ready to go. As soon i put it in to drive, press the gaz and the car shuts down for no reason.

 

So the car will start, but when you put it into drive, that's when you encounter this problem? OK . . . that's really odd.

 

Now the car is at the dealer and if they can't find the problem, they'll charged me for no reason. ((

 

After 1 1/2 weeks at the dealer, a got a message from them telling me that my ECU is F**K cause water got in there. My question is how in the H**L water got all the way inside there and from where. ???

Answers people please

 

You could make an effort to search. There are several threads on this issue. Most of the time, it's because the AC drain tube got plugged/clogged:

See post# 30, there are two more links in that post.

 

See my thread linked above. MY DRAIN LINE WASN'T CLOGGED!!! No one can answer how water got in there, but I do know water was coming out of drain 1 hour after my car was stalled out, and it was a lot... I hope you are still under warranty and give Acura Client Services a call if your dealer starts giving you the run around. Also Acura Client Services may give you the run around at first, force the issue and tell them you know this is a common problem and you want to talk to one of the Technical advisors. They know that this is an issue. Although if your drain was plugged by a bolt or spider web or such, you may be stuck with a bill, but your comprehensive insurance should cover it then.

Good luck, I've been without my for almost 3 weeks now, and my wife is driving a Mitsubishi Gallant for a rental
