09 TL intermittent, random problem
Picked up a 09 a few days ago. Has had timing/water pump done, and previous owner had thrown a new clockspring in it thinking it was the issue. While driving, it jerks, dash guages drop down, dash clicks, instrument cluster lights up a bunch of lights, and then it disapears. CEL comes on for the misfire, but then after another blink out or two the light is gone. When it does this, if it stalls, it doesnt restart properly. Sometimes it rapidly clicks inside dash, sometimes it starts and starter keeps going, and sometimes itll start fine. I thought smacking around the steeringwheel mounting was helping but not sure if that was in my head. If i try to give it any throttle over like 15-20% it just jerks, cuts out, comes back on, over and over til it figures itself out or i pull over. Yesterday, i pull the battery cables off and sanded the paint off terminal conectors then reattached to cable and battery. It drove amazing until after 30-40 miles then started acting up again. I want to say its the ignition switch, but dont know anything about acuras.
Before redoing battery cable, VSA, emissions, and tpms lights were on along with CEL for misfires. CEL, vsa, and emissions are off now and havent come back. TPMS light is on because i havent programmed the new sensors. Sometimes it works perfect, sometimes it doesnt. Tried searching but cant find anyone with these symptoms.
