Usually ABS and some Check Engine light codes are "hard codes" which means they cannot be turned off until what set code is fixed.

If solenoid you may be able to use an OHM meter to check. OR a live power jump if you know the proper voltage. But, It could be something less than 12vdc. Double check all connections. Polish all spade connectors.

O2 sensor no activity bank one sensor one This is the first sensor in the exhaust system on the # 1 cylinder side on engine usually in exhaust manifold.

Maybe.If the cooling system is working correctly, the only thing the thermostat does is make the engine reach normal operating temp in a short period of time. The engine is designed to run at 190 - 210 degrees as much as possible.If you leave the thermostat out, it may run cooler, but you will get a check engine light at some point in time if the engine does not reach 190 degrees within 5 or 10 min. And when the check engine light comes on the performance will drop off. And it will use more fuel.

Any poor performance of the transmission with indicator lights on the dash mean you have problems that need to be resolved immediately...

Do you get warning lights on the dash ?If yes, a mechanic would check for voltage at the starter.The circuit between the key switch and the starter has a neutral or clutch safety switch that could have failed.

Check the OBD codes.

Normally an inline fuse on the power wire. The is a fuse to the 'Premium Amplifier'. https://www.autogenius.info/acura-tl-2013-fuse-box-diagram/ ..

There is no way to do a full alignment on any vehicle without a proper alignment setup. Do you have a spare $20,000 to invest in one?

The switch is not making contact after depress , change out the switch , find a auto tech you can trust good luck

My personal suggestion would be to go for these repair catalogs. I know this website www.reliable-store.com that i used to buy them from, and they have it all online and it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.

Did it file any trouble codes?

Toyota and Acuras are notorious for the VSA system. It is very efficient at finding a problem , but hell trying to tell you specifically what it is. Your Transmission needs repair. You must have it towed. Do not try to drive it or force it to move. Transmission will need overhaul,,,be sure to tell the mechanic to check the trans cooler also when it get overhauled. It usually happens as the car gets near its 100,000 mile mark.

Take many pictures as you disassemble the motor to get the head off. Be certain that you tighten the head to proper torque specs and you must get a head gasket set to do the job. Also it is best to take the head to a machine shop to see if it is warped, if so must be surfaced and they can repair the plug hole for you while it's there. Depending on the mileage you may need a valve job as well. At the very minimum have the head checked for warpage. Good luck to you and it is a process that requires some specialty tools.

Sounds like a bad battery connection(s) or starter motor connection. Contacts must be squeaky clean since you are dealing with low voltage

Likely the tranny is shot. My 2002 TLs tranny died @ 21k miles and the replacement died with only 60k miles. $3500 fix.

I seriously doubt it. . .
