Take it to Autozone and they'll pull the code for free and tell you what the problem is. My guess is you have a bad O2 sensor and it's making the car run rich.

After that use Seafoam. Can get it just about anywhere but Walmart is cheapest. It really help clean out your engine. Change spark plugs and if you bought it from a non Acura dealership, you may want to change the oil and filter. Search around on the site. I've learned a lot here.
