have you checked the relay? or the ground or positive wires shorted out and may need replaced.

it's on the back of the radio, if it's stock it should be in the owners manual.

Sometimes CD Players in Automobiles are not designed to play burnt discs from a home computer or laptop. Check with your manual.

check all of your fluid levels, especially your engine oil. if they're all ok, you can take it to most any major auto parts store and they will pull a code for you at no charge.

Hi, the problem you are having will be with the brake light switch, it may be that its come away from the pedal or it could need replacing, to find the brake light switch all you need to do is get on your hands and knees the drivers side of the car and have a really close look at the brake pedal, now once your looking at the brake pedal follow it to the very top of the pedal and then you should see the brake light switch it should be stuck to the bracket of the brake light pedal it will be located just behind the moving part of the brake pedal.

have a look and the switch may just be hanging down and need just pushing back in place, you sohlud be able to adjust it slightly as it may just be wore so have a good look and you will see how it works its just a button that is pressed when you touch the brake pedal.

let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

if it's not in the glove compartment,you will need to remove radio and call dealer with the number on top of radio to get code.

You have to do this: If you have jumped or replaced the battery at anytime this will happen. You have to get the serial number off the radio by removing it or partially taking it out to see the numbers on it try not to remove any cords. With the stereo out (to make sure you get the right number off of it) call an Acura dealership with the number and they will give you the another number to enter into the stereo and directions on how to punch the numbers in. Make sure while you have the stereo out you write the serial number down and keep it in a safe place also the number that the Acura dealership gives you because if you sell the car or if it happens again its easily accessible. Good Luck!

You need to get the serial number off the sticker attached to the radio. It will require pulling apart your dash. Call an Acura dealership with that serial number and they should be able to provide you the code. Or you can take it directly to the dealer but you will be charged labor.

You will need to pull it ,and have it rebuilt. Need to be careful,because they usually don't touch the diff,on a trans axle rebuilt

I would get a reman from the dealer and have a shop R&R yours,then return the core.

its a sensor packed up visit a local mechanic to fit a new sensor

I recently purchased a 2001 MDX from a private owner.  I encountered the same cosmetic problems as well and did some research online.  I visited the Meguiar's (car care products) website, looking for headlight haze remover and what to do about paint "oxidation."  What I discovered is the discoloration is NOT oxidation, but rather "clearcoat failure."

Good news:  The headlight yellow haze is easily fixed with a power drill and a product called "One-Step Headlight Restoration Kit."  For under $20 I buffed out both headlights in about 10 minutes (I went over each a couple of times after I saw the product wasn't doing any harm and got more brave with the drill).

Bad news:  Nothing can fix the clearcoat failure.  You gotta repaint it.  From what I read clearcoat failures are as individual as fingerprints.  The common cause, however, is heat.  How much heat varies from model to model, color to color, and geographic location.  Some people have reported garaging their cars, like you, and STILL seeing the discoloration years down the road, while others totally neglect their cars and the clearcoat stayed clear - go figure.

look in owners mannual if not listed there call dealear

You'll have to contact the dealer if it is not written down in the operators manual for the car.

Hi
Just clean the air filter as the engine is getting choked. Also clean the spark plugs... all will be well for sure.

You have a vacuum leak causing your idle to rise above normal.

This can be one of two things, Your chip is out of sinc and sending to much to little air flow to valves or check your air box this could be clogged came unbolted or something of that sort.
