    Could be the head gasket allowing some coolant into #4 that won’t compress and let the engine turn over. After it’s been run and fully warmed up, lite it sit for a half hour and pull #4 and look down into the cylinder with a flashlight and see if there is any water in there. Have you had to add any coolant recently? Or Possible that the exhaust valve isn’t opening , a compression test would be useful, and when it’s getting started and it’s cold, check to see if there is instantly some pressure in the radiator by removing the cap and listening for it to release pressure. And if it continues to burp out little bubbles, then think head gasket. I normally wouldn’t recommend it but I have seen some of these chemical head gasket repairs actually do a damn good job at least for a while.

This is Coil On Plug ignition. yes?

Are you getting cylinder 4 misfires?.

Reinstall plug and COP but leave cable disconnected to coil. If its seems to start ok with only the COP disconnected I would suspect noise is being fed back from the COP and disruptIng ignition for the other cylinders.

If you replace the COP don't go cheap... pay the premium for the OEM part.

SOURCE: how to change spark plugs on 2005 acura tl

Hi,

you need a 6 inch extension, short 3/8 ratchet, 5/8 plug socket, 3/8 swivel "u" joint, (sold at sears) 8mm 1/4 drive socket deep well and 1/4 inch ratchet.

find the coil packs (6 total, three in each head.)
remove the two retaining nuts holding each coil pack using 1/4 8mm socket and ratchet.
twist the pack to break the sticking boot below.
pull up (be careful to not rip the boots however it may still happen but rare.)
remove coil packs, the rear is a little more difficult with the intake.
use 6" extension and u joint and ratchet to remove plugs and replace.
reverse order to assemble. Good luck, and hoped this helped.

I have an Acura tl 98 its missing fire #4 what could be?

Misfires are caused by fuel delivery problems, injectors or too rich or weak. Spark issues, coil, wires, spark plugs or the cap and roter.
I could also be a loss of compression. First thing to check is the easiest... spark plugs, spark and cap and roter. Also the cheapest.

You would be better served to take it an auto supply -autozone oriellys and have them pull codes. this will give you a better direction. The check engine light could mean many of codes.Spark plugs should last 8000-10000 miles. replace only parts that are defective. Could be ox senors to fuel cap not tight. Goood luck

My 2000 acura 3.2 tl is misfiring. I've replaced the spark plugs. It starts and drives fine until you park for 5 minutes and when you go to start it up again, it misfires badly and sometimes won't start at...

Check the wiring. to Coil, plugs, Crank Positioning Sensor. check to see if the wire is in good condition sometimes if wire is checked, in poor condition it will allow bleed through especially when the wires get hot. This is why it will often start when engine cools down and why it shuts off when your sitting cause it heats the wires up there is not the cool air running accross the wires when sitting. Good Luck and a grt day. Would appreciat 4 thumbs up if this was helpful.
