sluggish acceleration??
MY 96 3.2 TL HAS 113,000 MILES AND I NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS REALLY SLOW. MY MOMS 99 AVALON ACCELERATES FASTER THAN MY CAR AND MY FRIENDS 93 LEGEND IS ALSO FASTER THAN MINE. I GOT IT MAJORED SERVICED AND ALSO GOT OCTANE BOOSTER FOR IT BUT ITS STILL THE SAME. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THE KICK BACK IN THE ACCELERATION AND GET MY TOP END SPEED BACK???

Go to your Acura dealer and tell them you want the "emissions recall" done to your car. Its free and doesn't cost the dealer a dime, in fact, it only costs Acura itself.
It will replace a bunch of things, plus its a free oil change

They are just about equal if you compare similar engines.
Both Honda/Toyota make excellent and powerful engines (especially for their size)
